The ten game announcement advises that those who go can, ‘Eat free candy. If you like’.

Plus, it promises lots of laughs, “including some exclusive, non-broadcast, commercial-break-only comedies from the Project team.”

Another incentive is to see, ‘what happens in commercial breaks, including some comedy we could never air.’

Tickets are free, and those wishing to join the studio audience can apply via the Ten Play site for the shows taped in Sydney and Melbourne.

New stars Sam Taunton and Michael Hing will join the show in 2023, along with Sarah Harris and existing panelists Waleed Aly and Hamish Macdonald.
