Settling into the Old Melbourne Gaol, the honour of the Golden Guy Fawkes Award surrounded the stage, along with some creepy auras and a few drunk ghosts. With host Rod Quantock (C’mon, who else would you get to present the award for the comic ‘most likely to blow up parliament’?) commanding the whole show, he first introduced Corinne Grant, who jumped into the scene with some ripe Terrorism material. As each comic followed, the stakes were raised higher and higher for their material to out-sedition the previous and prove their hatred of our current Government.

Musically, entertainment came from Eddie Perfect, Paul Kelly, Wendy Little, Kieran Butler and the ever-painful Joe Dolce. Other great performers included Gerard McCulloch and Andrew Horabin. Whilst Greg Fleet’s material was slightly off-centre, he still put in a stellar performance and was duly awarded a winning sentence of 45 years. It’s a stretch he truly deserves.
