Coming next month!

Some of Australia's best and emerging comedy acts are set to feature in a new TV skit show premiering next month. 

The Slot, to screen on Foxtel, will showcase established and emerging comics from the online world such as Bondi Hipsters, Aunty Donna, Skit Box and Superwog.

The ten-episode series will be hosted by Bondi Hipsters' Christian Van Vuuren and Skit Box's Adele Vuko.

"As someone who had their life turned upside down by the ability to post content online and find an audience, it’s super exciting to see similar avenues opening up in the world of TV," Van Vuuren said.

"The Slot is an awesome step forward in terms of legitimising the careers of creators, and providing an avenue for our community to reach an audience they otherwise wouldn’t be able to."

Vuko added, "A lot of the creators on this show have millions of fans around the world and people who queue up to see them live. Yet many of us make little to no money and can barely make rent.

"This show is a great opportunity for us because now we can eat something better than Maggi noodles which are delicious, but kind of get boring after the 400th night."

The Slot will premiere on The Comedy Channel on 14 December at 8.30pm; check out the trailer here.
