TGIF screams inside
On Thank God It’s Friday, Richard Glover is joined by Jean Kittson, Richard Fidler and Tommy Dean as they talk about tourist campaigns designed to repel visitors, and a Japanese rollercoaster operator who wants patrons to “scream inside”.

TGIF holidays at home
On TGIF Richard Glover is joined by Tommy Dean, Jean Kittson and Rebecca De Unamuno as they talk about staycations, the tyranny of names and the changes to the school curriculum.

TGIF builds a bunker
On Thank God It’s Friday, Richard Glover is joined by Tahir, Tommy Dean and Rebecca de Unamuno as they stock a bunker for the next pandemic, learn how to spot a Victorian, and celebrate this week’s return to the movies.

TGIF blows its bubble
On TGIF we’ve expanded our bubble – inviting our regulars back into the studio for the first time in months. Tommy Dean, Jean Kittson and Rebecca de Unamuno join Richard Glover in studio 222 as he asks about lockdown, recreating airline travel at home and the wonders of the much-maligned human body. Oh, and there’s a Wheel of Death all about prunes.

TGIF brings in the clowns
Richard Glover kicks off the last in our series of TGIF lockdown specials in which are getting to know our TGIF regulars. This week it’s the turn of Zoe Coombs Marr who talks about growing up queer in Grafton and the road to her hit Prime show Bossy Bottom, while Anthony Ackroyd dissects the rules of comedy and remembers some emotional moments from his work as a clown doctor at the Sydney Children’s Hospital. Next week: Tommy, Jean and Rebecca, back in the studio.

TGIF carries on singing
This week's 'iso' edition of TGIF hears from two more of our regular panellists. This time it's the turn of Bridie Connell and Colin Buchanan.

TGIF finds itself
On TGIF, our “iso” specials continue, as we get to know some of our regular panellists. This week Wil Anderson and Gretel Killeen both discuss how they searched for their true self – and found it in the unlikely surroundings of a comedy club. Then stay listening for our final Letter from America with Tommy Dean, as our hero finds his way back to Ithaca, sorry Sydney, but is immediately placed under guard by the Australian navy.

TGIF keeps its distance
On TGIF, Richard Glover invites two more of our TGIF regulars to share their life stories. Listen as Gary Eck tells a ripper tale about working with the great Robin Williams, and Wendy Harmer paints a picture of the tough love of her childhood – and how it led to her role as Australia’s pioneer of female stand-up. Then stay with us from a final Letter from America with Tommy Dean as he plots his trip back to Australia.

TGIF lives on
Our TGIF isolation series continues with millennial Tom Ballard and self-confessed bogan Mandy Nolan. Plus another letter from America with Tommy Dean.

TGIF laughs last
On TGIF, our special “iso” series continues, in which we get to know our TGIF regulars. This week, UK-born comic Jeff Green talks about how he came from a crowded council flat in Chester to life in Australia; then Jean Kittson paints an evocative picture of an Australian childhood and how it led to stand-up comedy at the Melbourne venue The Last Laugh, and then onwards to the Big Gig, Let the Blood Run Free, and her current advocacy around menopause and care for the elderly. Then stick around at the end for another Letter from America – this week with a somewhat emotional Tommy Dean.

TGIF in isolation
On TGIF this week we continue the iso-edition of the show in which we get to know some of our favourite comedians – it’s like a Zoom party with our TGIF regulars. This week Richard Glover is joined by Tahir and Ellen Briggs. Stay listening for another Letter from America with Tommy Dean, as he glimpses light at the end of the CoVid tunnel.

TGIF zooms in
On TGIF we kick off a new series of show in which we get to know some of our favourite comedians – it’s like a Zoom party with our TGIF regulars. This week Richard Glover is joined by Alice Fraser, whose show “Savage” has just started streaming on Amazon Prime, and our own Queen of Improv, Rebecca de Unamuno. Then stay listening for another Letter from America with Tommy Dean, as some of his fellow American start to “cry freedom” over the CoVid lockdown.
