Ok I haven’t managed to work this one out yet…..
TEN says it will air Seriously Funny: Comedy Gala Gold at 8:30pm on Wednesday March 23rd.
However according to the Melbourne International Comedy Festival the 2011 Gala doesn’t take place until Monday March 28th, hosted by Josh Thomas at St. Kilda’s Palais Theatre. TEN is a sponsor.
So unless Seriously Funny: Comedy Gala Gold is actually from another comedy festival (Canada?) ahead of a possible Melbourne event airing a week later I’m just a tad confused.
It’s also not a repeat.
Funny peculiar.
UPDATE: TEN advises it is clips from 25 years of Comedy Galas hosted by Paul McDermott. 2011 event airs later.

Seriously Funny – 25 years of the Melbourne International Comedy Festival
(Comedy Gala Gold is some kind of abbreviation for the guides I’m guessing)
Paul McDermott hosts a two hour special celebrating the 25th anniversary of the Melbourne International Comedy Festival. It features encore performances from Charity Galas and Opening Night specials plus some special moments that network censors deemed unsuitable for TV audiences…until now. Featured artists include Fiona O’Loughlin, Lee Mack, Lenny Henry, Judith Lucy, Dave Hughes, Julian Clary, Arj Barker, Tim Minchin, Shaun Micallef, Danny Bhoy, Carl Barron, Wil Anderson, Josh Thomas, Tripod, Rich Hall, the Might Boosh, Dylan Moran, Jeff Green, Kitty Flanagan, Jimeoin, Glenn Robbins, the D Generation, Norman Gunston, Bill Bailey, Adam Hills and Tom Gleeson. In fact, more than fifty of the most acclaimed artists that have taken the Comedy Gala stage in Melbourne since 1987.
It appear that Seriously Funny will kick off comedy season on Ten…
Just for Laughs – The 2010 Montreal Comedy Festival is expected to air on Ten Wednesday March 30 at 8:30pm. Starring Pamela Anderson, Steve Martin, Brad Garrett, Rove McManus, Tim Minchin, The Axis of Awesome, Dave Thornton, Cheech & Chong plus a cavalcade of international comedy stars.
The 2011 Melbourne International Comedy Festival Gala (hosted by Josh Thomas) is expected to premiere on Ten Monday April 4th at 8:30pm.
Saddle up comedy fans…
What are they going to air on Wednesdays post-Easter? More Modern Family repeats?
With a title like that, it sounds like it might just be a ‘best of’ show from previous galae?
