    Relaxed, warm and witty.

    I don't often get to recommend an Australian comedy/quiz show to folk back home in the UK, but this is spot on in every way. Not too serious, not too silly, not too cynical, it is easily watchable and guarantees a few laughs in every show. One to export the format......

    Not soft

    One of the funniest shows around. Keep up the good work Tom...!

    Funny af

    It's a really simple format for a quiz show but it is carried by Tom's wittiness and the interesting contestants. It's always exciting to see what obscure expert topics they choose and Tom's round is always hilarious.

    Hard

    I like the bit where Tom Gleeson makes fun of them

    funniest quiz show

    Funniest quiz show. Amazing contestants with the most bizarre areas of expertise almost as smart, funny and unpredictable as the host.
