A Laughing Matter is a brand new South Australian sketch comedy series written by and starring local comedians and actors! Modelled on such greats of sketch comedy as Monty Python’s Flying Circus, A Bit of Fry & Laurie and The Micallef Program with a modern South Australian twist, this community TV show is guaranteed to have fresh, exciting and original material every week to put a smile on your face!
Our show has developed from humble beginnings to become an enormous undertaking, featuring the work of around 100 Adelaide artists including comedians, actors, writers, musicians and filmmakers. The regular cast features such popular local comedians as Angus Hodge, Kel Balnaves, James McCann, Leigh Qurban and Pires Eddy, as well as talented actresses including Toni Charlton, Gemma Neall, Nadia Talotta and Megan Doherty! As well as this, look out for appearances from several other local actors/comedians such as Paul Stalenhoef, Steve Weyland, Jess Mooney, Golden Phung member Roy Phung and even a special guest appearance from legendary Aussie comedian Greg Fleet!
Each episode of this comedy is packed full of creative characters, absurd situations and hilarious observations on all aspects of everyday life. Each sketch is entirely fresh with no recurring characters, meaning there’s always a humorous new surprise just around the corner. The fact that our cast are all young performers breaking into the industry means that we have an unnaturally high amount of enthusiasm and energy that ensures people will find the series inventive, thrilling and consistently entertaining!
One of the benefits of sketch comedy is that it allows many different styles of humour to feature throughout the series – in each episode you will see scenes of slapstick, wordplay, parody, quick-witted dialogue, improvisation, musical comedy and much more. This means that while our target age group is 15-35 year olds, there truly is something for everyone amidst our amusing mix of preposterous premises and witty social observations.
Our primary aim with A Laughing Matter is to prove that absolutely everything in life has the potential for hilarity, and I’m confident you’ll feel that we’ve nailed this goal. Check out the show this Wednesday on Channel 44 at 9:30PM, and find out more about the show by visiting our Facebook page – www.facebook.com/alaughingmatter
