Adelaide vs the World - The Clash of the Comics
Adelaide's finest jesters go head to head with national and international comics in this comedy game show! MC Eric Tinker strives to herd these comic cats as they perform stand up spots, team games and anarchic challenges. Eric is a musical comedian from the UK and will throw some song snippets into the mix. You, the audience, help decide which is the funniest team and you can answer some questions too!
