"Inside "The Glass House" Australia's finest comic minds have perfected a new breed of humour.
(words kindly taken from an ad for GH on the ABC April, 2002)
Corinne: We're only doing this because it's good for you
It's been refined...
Wil: All tonights jokes come out of Christmas bonbons
...sharpened
Wil: It's a revolutionary idea
...polished
Wil: That wasn't a joke, let's cut that out
We've even given it a new timeslot
Dave:That's a disgrace
The Glass House, now rocking your world at 9:50 Friday.
The Glass House is a fantastic comedy panel show starring: Wil Anderson as the host and Corinne Grant and Dave Hughes (two other fantastic comedians) as the co-hosts. Each week two guests join the gang to examine (with a comic viewpoint) various news from the week.
Season One: 10/8/01 - 23/11/01
(15 episodes aired, 16 filmed)

Season Six: 21/3/03 - 21/11/03 (36 episodes aired)
Season Seven: 13/2/04 - 26/11/04 (42 episodes aired) These dates were given to me by Ian from "The Glass House"... so they should be correct *g*
It currently airs around 10:25pm on Friday nights on the ABC.
If you're a fan and are able to get to Sydney - episodes are taped (usually) fortnightly at the ABC studios at Ultimo on a Thursday Night from about 6:30 to 9:30 (depends upon whether it is a double taping).
You have to book tickets, you do this by ringing (02) 9383 4741 after 9am on the Monday before the taping.
Tapings don't cost anything (that's why they're so good - FREE COMEDY), but the viewing audience size has been steadily increasing and even though the new studio can accomodate even more audience members... you don't want to miss out.
If you're a fan - don't forget to air your enthusiasm (the Feedback guestbook is a good place)... but of course, so is the guestbook of the Official site.
