Re-Visitiation (Hopefully Done) Right - New Comedy to be Remake of The Big Gig
More information has come to light about Ted Robinson's New Australian Comedy Programme. Back in January it was reported that the producer of Good News Week had a project in the works to replace The Glass House, and rumour was that the new show would be in the vein of The Big Gig. Now, the Age reports that it will actually be a remake of the iconic series.
This new show will be very much in line with the original, and include stand-up, sketches and musical performances. Hopefully, the terrible 80s fashions of the original will be absent. The studio audience will also be standing for the duration of the hour-long show - this is certain to result in a heightened level of energy and involvement, as well as some sore feet. The name of the programme has yet to be revealed.
A pilot episode was recently filmed, featuring comedians Eddie Perfect and Sam Bowring. Former DAAS member and GNW host Paul McDermott is reportedly involved as a writer for the series, and it wouldn't surprise me if other Robinson alumni are involved in this re-visitation of times past.
