Program to send up shows and stars
By MIKE EDMONDS and LUKE DENNEHY
WE can exclusively reveal that Channel 9 will screen a new show called Comedy Inc. on February 19.
The hour-long, 8.30pm show will parody major movie and television shows such as Big Brother, Backyard Blitz and The Footy Show.
It will also feature sketches sending up such celebrities as Britney Spears, Jerry Springer and Holly Valance.
Most of the stars are unknowns, although Ben Oxenbould had a role on Hey Dad between 1991-94.
Fast Forward's Michael Veitch is one of the 21 writers, and is also an acting coach for the cast.
Fox FM'S Matt Tilley will work on the show part-time.
The show will be produced weekly, so it should be topical.
