    Sat. 28th, March, 2026: Broden Kelly, Aunty Donna and Grouse House: Most Upsetting Guessing Game LIVE! returns to Melbourne International Comedy Festival

    Broden Kelly joins Kenny and Tom as they discuss his new show at the Melbourne International Comedy Festival Most Upsetting Guessing Game LIVE! returns to Melbourne International Comedy Festival in 2026! Join members of comedy group Aunty Donna (Aunty Donna’s Big Ol’ House of Fun – Netflix, Aunty Donna’s Coffee Café – ABC) and their favourite comedians from this year’s Festival for an hour of chaotically cooked improv. It’s had over two million views on YouTube, but exactly what is the Most Upsetting Guessing Game in the World? Think a Whose Line is it Anyway? and Thank God You’re Here hybrid – with the power to end friendships and get a TV network cancelled. Aunty Donna is an Australian surrealist comedy group formed in Melbourne in 2011. The group currently consists of performers and writers Mark Bonanno, Broden Kelly and Zachary Ruane, alongside writer and director Sam Lingham, director Max Miller and composer Thomas Zahariou (né Armstrong). Their work spans numerous live shows, a YouTube channel, podcasts, a studio album, the Netflix produced Aunty Donna’s Big Ol’ House of Fun, the ABC produced series Aunty Donna’s Coffee Cafe and a picture book. The group also founded Haven’t You Done Well Productions together in 2018, through which they produce their own work as well as others. They have frequently collaborated with other comedians, including Michelle Brasier, Mish Wittrup, and Demi Lardner. Grouse House is a YouTube channel operated by Haven’t You Done Well Productions, intended to support up-and-coming comedians by hosting their absurdist, experimental comedy on the platform. Grouse House has produced several comedy webseries which are hosted on the YouTube channel Grouse House, including Hug The Sun (2021) directed by Aaron McCann and featuring Ben Russell and Xavier Michelides,[50] Hot Department: Dark Web (2022) featuring comedy duo Hot Department,[48] and Finding Yeezus (2022), a six-part documentary web series that revealed the identity of the creator of the 2013 video game Kanye Quest 3030 starring Cameron James and Alexei Toliopoulos and directed by Max Miller.[51][52][53] The five-part comedy Descent (2024), set on a submarine and featuring comedians Millie Holten, Madi Savage, and Ella Lawry, was also released on the channel,[54] as well as nostalgic TV parody series Gocsy’s Classics featuring Aaron Gocs. The Most Upsetting Guessing Game in the World (MUGG) is another of its outputs, featuring guests such as Daniel Sloss and Nick Cody. In 2025, Grouse House released So You Wanna Win a P*nis Pump? (SYWWAPP), a four-episode quiz show described as a mix between Taskmaster and Game Changer, hosted by Demi Lardner and featuring guests such as Paul F. Tompkins, Tom Cardy and Becky Lucas. Grouse House has released six different pilot episodes by comedian Greg Larsen. In August 2025, it was announced that a subscription service based on and named after Grouse House was to be trialled over the subsequent months and fully launched in early 2026. It would be similar in form to that of Dropout, a US streaming service derived from comedy company CollegeHumor. While the content already on the Grouse House channel is to remain available for free on YouTube, new content will only be available through this service.[49] Presently, Naimo has stated Grouse House’s focus on small-budget shiny-floor productions such as gameshows, improv and interview shows. Much of Aunty Donna’s proceeds from its Drem world tour are expected to go toward Grouse House.   The post Sat. 28th, March, 2026: Broden Kelly, Aunty Donna and Grouse House: Most Upsetting Guessing Game LIVE! returns to Melbourne International Comedy Festival appeared first on Saturday Magazine.

    Sat, 28th March, 2026: Aiv Puglielli – MP Greens, Nth Eastern Metro Greens Call for Government to Make Public Transport Free

    Kenny and Tom are joined live in the studio by Aiv Puglieli, MP Greens Nth Eastern Metro. The Victorian Greens are calling on the Allan Government to make public transport in Melbourne free for the next month to provide immediate relief from cost of living pressures as petrol prices soar. The Greens say this petrol price spike is exactly why the government should be helping people shift away from expensive petrol cars by making public transport cheaper and more accessible, investing in bike lane infrastructure, updating bus networks, running more frequent public transport services and helping people switch to electric vehicles. The Greens say that making public transport free for the next month is something the government could do right now to provide immediate cost-of-living relief, while working on longer term measures. According to a PBO costing, making public transport free for a month would cost the government approximately $79.4 million but could save a commuter household up to $500 from their family budget for the month. Public transport has continued to get more expensive in Victoria.  In other places like New Zealand and Western Australia, public transport fares have been slashed significantly and Queensland offers 50c fares. https://greens.org.au/vic/news/media-release/greens-call-government-make-public-transport-free-next-month-fuel-prices The post Sat, 28th March, 2026: Aiv Puglielli – MP Greens, Nth Eastern Metro Greens Call for Government to Make Public Transport Free appeared first on Saturday Magazine.
