Description - Event TV: The Production and Inhabited Resistance of Images of Control by Wendy Davis
Australian television comedy has long been a rich source of entertainment and innovation. From Graham Kennedy's irreverent subversion of the tonight show format in In Melbourne Tonight to Roy & HG's colourful reinterpretation of the conventions of sports commentary at the Sydney Olympics and Kath and Kim's peculiarly Australian take on the mockumentary, our TV comedians have demonstrated a spirit of rebellion that has used humour as a means for breaking open mainstream genres and imagining them in new and fresh ways. Event TV presents an erudite and scholarly exploration of these figures, highlighting how besides being very funny their programs offer a culturally significant practice of comic resistance.
