I found much of the comedy was "old hat" - recycled, if you will. Even the host, Adam Hills revived some of his material - Misty Hymen, American optimists and Candy The Diabetic. I remain a devoted fan of Adam, though. Of the finalists, I did like David Cunningham (I did get his humour), Luke McGregor's straight vs gay nightclubs, and Laura Davis was on song until the "emo chicken" at the end. I was fairly unimpressed by most of the others - even the winner Neil Sinclair. Jay Sullivan's finale was a highlight that rounded out the evening. (He's no relation to the producer, by the way).
