Who are Idiot Box?
Idiot Box is an improvised comedy show for TV lovers, a fond ride back through the programmes audiences grew up on, played live with no ad breaks. Its cast of television-mad improvisers turns the screen's golden age into half an hour of small-screen silliness, with a wink at the old parental warning that the telly rots the mind. The team was Mo, Sharanya Mathanarajan, Tanya O'Kane, Kirit Chaudhary, Drew Wiseham, Andrew Le, Bec Foley, Sam King and Andy Maher. At the 2026 ITS Comedy Festival it shared a double bill in Improv Theatre Sydney's Mini Theatre with Harold in a Wig, a long-form show played in wigs. [1]
