So many people wandering about doing Kylie Mole impressions, myself included. <img src="https://cdn.jsdelivr.net/joypixels/assets/8.0/png/unicode/64/1f61b.png" class="smilie smilie--emoji" loading="lazy" width="64" height="64" alt=":p" title="Stick out tongue    :p"  data-smilie="7"data-shortname=":p" /> I could also mention Fast Forward, Australia You're Standing In It, The Gillies Report, and The Big Gig. But the thread is about UK vs. US and I didn't want to come across as being the little kid running along behind the cool kids shouting out "Australia too!"Also, Australian comedy doesn't translate well. I think you guys (New Zealand) get us and I think we get you guys. But further afield our stuff doesn't translate well. The UK has been putting up with Aussies going over there trying to get famous for decades. Through long exposure they seem to kinda get us but <hand wiggle implying kinda but not quite here>So, since I'm mentioning Aussie comedy anyway, I'd like to give a shout out to a show called Frayed. It's that rarest of beasts, a funny Australian sitcom. It's new and available on Netflix. At least, Australian Netflix. I suspect it doesn't translate well but if you've got a VPN try it out.And also a big thumbs up for Julian Clary and Sticky Moments. It was shocking! An openly gay man making gay jokes (not the derogatory kind) on TV! Very funny. I might track it down for a re-watch.Actually yeah. I've seen a bit of this here and there. Pretty good over all.</blockquote>
