Seven welcomes new comedy series We Interrupt This Broadcast
The comedy show is a HELIUM original production for the Seven Network
Seven is welcoming a brand new comedy series, We Interrupt This Broadcast, to its lineup.
The sketch comedy is a long-overdue comedy series that makes fun of Australia’s favourite (and least favourite) shows.
From MKR to SAS Australia, The Bachelor to MAFS, Stranger Things to Love Island, nothing is off limits as We Interrupt This Broadcast reboots and revitalises a long-standing and near-forgotten Australian tradition: taking the piss out of everything.
We Interrupt This Broadcast showcases eight of Australia’s most seasoned live performers and versatile comedy talent: Christie Whelan Browne, Bridie Connell, Michelle Brasier, Adele Vuko, Duncan Fellows, Greg Larsen, Ben Russell and Bjorn Stewart, with celebrated screen actors and established comedy performers supporting the ensemble cast throughout the series.
Need to know more? When asked to summarise the show in three words, Bridie proclaimed We Interrupt This Broadcast to be "unhinged, delightful, silliness".
Vuko declared the series: “Full. Of. Funny people” and Larsen accurately surmised that is was a “sketch comedy show”, Ben concluded “Toot, Toot, Toot!”
