Who is Tanya O’Kane?
Tanya O'Kane improvises with Idiot Box, a group of performers who love television and build their comedy out of the programmes viewers remember from growing up. At the 2026 ITS Comedy Festival the group put on a short, fast set of small-screen send-ups at Improv Theatre Sydney, played straight through with no ad breaks, alongside players such as Sharanya Mathanarajan, Drew Wiseham, Andrew Le and Sam King. O'Kane was also credited as a performer in Television: Live, the same idea staged at the Sydney Fringe, which drew on childhood viewing like Cheez TV, Hey Arnold, Saddle Club and Round the Twist.
