THE LOW DOWN 

Through outstanding writing and character acting The Wedge has created a series of memorable characters whose lives are loosely intertwined as residents of the mythical but disturbingly familiar Australian suburb of Wedgedale.

Appealing to young and old alike, The Wedge continues the tradition of great Australian sketch comedies such as The Comedy Company and Fast Forward.

We're Moving features the first 6 ground breaking episodes and introduces characters that immediately entered the Australian consciousness such as Mark Warey - the apologising sportsman, Sherine and Leanne - the pokie girls, Art Cooney - the new age school teacher, Lucy - the cyber stalking schoolgirl and Jack and Jill Farmer.

Lucky follows with the next Seven episodes that include magical comedy moments from the expanding Wedgedale universe including characters such as Fat Mandy, Running Robbie Fowler, Henry the Dole Guy and Lola the psychotic lollypop lady, as well as the continued exploits of characters such as the mysterious Snipper.

 

THE VERDICT

At last we have a comedy sketch show worthy of the mantle of Fast Forward and Full Frontal. Very funny, these two collections (available to buy separately) of the first 13 episodes take pot shots at all manner of Australian culture and generally hits the target, with characters such as Mark Warey, the apologizing sportsman, pokie lovers Sherine and Leanne and Henry the dole guy destined to become pop culture icons in their own right. 

THE EXTRAS

No extras unfortunately.
