I highly recommend this show to everyone, very funny and talented comedian. You can very much relate to his jokes which make them all the more funnier! The people I went with went on about it for days. Love the mum and mobile phone jokes - true and hilarious. Great night out and heaps of laughs! GO SEE IT!!! Presentation was brilliant

Having been to Israel and seen the Wall, Mark captures the essence of the tensions between the Jews and the Palestinians in the West Bank with humour that shows the common humanity of both sides and the injustice being meted out to the Palestinian people. He has mastered Israeli accents and mannerisms with uncanny accuracy and takes the Brechtian approach to entertainment whereby entertainment should educate as well as amuse. He supplements his oral delivery with a map and video footage of the places and events he experienced. The best was the weekly Friday demonstration in the West Bank where the surreal nature of this event was highlighted by the presence of mime artists on the Palestinian side of the wall.

Despite the fact it took 2.5 hours to film a 45min TV show, the actually content of this show was quite funny and what you would expect from the Good News Week team.
There was some technical issues at the beginning of the show, which delayed us by about 30mins, but Paul and Mikey easily managed to fill this void.
Would recommend going to again next year!!

Stephen delivered his usual style of humour. This show was quite funny, with some very witty jokes included. Excellent seats and venue was great.
Highly recommend

I saw their 2011 show 3 times. I only had time to see them once in 2012 but it was hilarious. They never fail to provoke diaphragm spasms.

An excellent show. Simon is observant, charming and most importantly very funny. His self deprecating humour and awkwardness makes for an endearing performance. A star act!

Always love Judith's material. Having watched her very funny t.v series, was a little familiar with some content, but still enjoyable.
Would say though, the intimacy of a small theatre was missed. Sadly, we felt removed from Judith for the first 15 min of the show, as we were sitting in the row D in the dress circle, and could only hear her rather than see her on stage, throughout the audience participation segment in the show. For a 1hr show, this was a little too long for me, whilst I would have preferred to have heard less from the audience and more from the lady herself, as she was 'the star' I came to see.
However, not all comedians can book out such a large theatre can they? So perhaps this is a small price to pay to see such a warm and talented comedian, who is so highly respected in Melbourne.
Well done again Judith. Rating 3.5 stars. I'll be back next year, and will try to get closer seats, so your funny facial expressions and personal delivery can be appreciated all the more.

Wanted to see a show at around 8.30 so took a luck dip and took 5 people along. The reviewer said the show was funny. Without being unkind, only about 5% of the material was funny and even that only raised a smirk. 6 out of 6 in our group said that was a hour we will never get back.
Sorry Andrew, the best I can say was the delivery was fine, the energy level was good but the material stinlks.

I always have high expectations for Stephen K Amos shows and I have never been disappointed. He possesses an incredible ability to incorporate the audience while performing his stand up, to the point where you can't help but agree with everything he says.
He is one of the rare diamonds of comedy that are able to induce hysterical laughter following by jaw and rib pain.
Definitely going to his show each year to see what he comes up with.
