RADIO KARATE - MELBOURNE’S NEWEST TELEVISION COMEDY SHOW

Shit… sorry, I just got a paper cut. But hey… on the up side Radio Karate, Melbourne’s newest comedy show is going to air on the 1st of October on Melbourne’s C31. Airing at 10.30pm and running for 6 episodes, the show is a clever mix of variety and sketch, without, however appearing to be a B Grade version of Rove Live.

Drawing inspiration from shows such as D Generation’s The Late Show, The Micallef Programme, The Office and Big Train, the show features four up and coming performers, Andy Lee, Ryan Shelton, Hamish Blake and Duncan Campbell. The four over the past three years have gained notoriety in Melbourne through Comedy Festival shows, Raw Comedy, hosting the Friday night drive slot on SYN FM, writing and featuring on FOX FM’s Breakfast Show as well as featuring in other C31 shows.

One of the stars Ryan Shelton, commented on show’s the light-hearted nature. “We know we can’t match the production values or star power of the commercial stations, so we’ve tried to do something different, and hopefully entertaining”

As a result the show is not just another medium for guests to sell their new CD/cooking book/Ab-Flexer/men’s fragrance. “At the end of the day we’re about taking the piss I guess,” Ryan concludes, “we don’t take ourselves too seriously, I mean the name of the show Radio Karate, I still don’t know what is means!”

The producers of Radio Karate manage to squeeze all the sketch comedy, guest interviews and studio tomfoolery in to a dynamic half hour that is filmed in front of a live studio audience. “I think the live audience is crucial to the fun atmosphere of the show” says producer Tim Bartley “it also helps that we get the crowd high on Red Bull beforehand”.

Radio Karate will stand out on C31 as show that packs content and production values with a cast that we will surely see on our televisions in the future, and not just hosting Fish TV.

Perhaps you should try and log out if you want to give fake reviews?

[Stevie Goss]

Indeed! I couldn't even mock this one...

Did a memo go around the Ch31 offices? Or is this the same person acting like a tool every time?

[Munchkin]

It's just so sad.

Tool.. I hope the day never comes when i stop finding that word so funny.

But you can't fault the guy for trying, 10/10 for effort and 10/10 for being a complete tool bag ooops there I go again

Yes, it's true, I was a tool for not loging out, however my comments still stand. Radio Karate is a half decent show. However sadly, without a network and a team of highly paid spin doctors behind you, it very hard to get people to tune in. SO, as a result you end up doind sad things like making slightly contrived coments on sites like these. But hey, any publicity is good publicity. Anyway if you live in melbourne tune in, and if you still dont like it, well email me and tell me why. 10:30 wednesday nights C31

There's nothing wrong with trying to promote your show.

It's just annoying when people come here and pretend they have no association with a show and talk it up in a big way. If you're proud of your work, be proud! Don't hide it!

My brother did the backstage for it, so I watched it when it came on and was cynical to begin with. But now I honestly think it's pretty funny. Some of the RMITV Stuff on CH31 is pretty good.

Just for the record, I do not know who G8C is, and it was not me doing exactly what i had just been busted for all over again (that been writing fake reviews) Just trying to win a little respect back, thats all

RADIO KARATE - it's all about shameless promotion (and a bit of comedy)
