Brain Space: Alt Comedy in OZ

Having reminisced about the impact and legacy of the Young Ones in the last episode, we turn our attention to Australian comedy in the 1980s. Sketch comedy dominated Australian television during this time; From the political satire of the Gillies Report to undergraduate shenanigans of the D-Generation, Australian comedy revelled in taking the piss out of cultural stereotypes. That said, insipid situation comedies like Hey Dad were also popular during the latter half of the decade. In this episode, we focus on two strains of alternative humour in the form of Australia You’re Standing in it and Wogs Out of Work, the latter paving the way for a new brand of non-Anglo comedians.
