Hold onto your hardhats. Here comes Gina Riley as Gina Liano -and Magda Szubanski as Gina Rinehart in the Comedy Channel’s upcoming sketch comedy Open Slather.
That’s a lotta Gina…… you have been warned!
Casting a satirical eye across the pop culture landscape, Open Slather is a weekly comedy show commissioned by Foxtel for The Comedy Channel. The 20 episode series will be a no-holds barred send-up of Australian culture, identities, celebrities, and politicians.
Creating a comedy ‘hot pot’, Open Slather combines the talents of comedy legends who have made us laugh for years, (Glenn Robbins, Magda Szubanski, Shane Jacobson, Marg Downey, Gina Riley, Stephen Curry, Michael Veitch and Jane Turner) with a new wave of comedy performers in a one-hour prime time Sunday night show.
Filmed on location and in front of a studio audience, the series will also feature regular guest star appearances in unexpected roles.
Drawing on the proven track records of the highly experienced producer team of Rick McKenna (Kath & Kim) and Laura Waters (Summer Heights High), this will be a show chock full of razor sharp commentary on contemporary society.
Each episode parodies popular culture, politics, sport, music, media – all the things that capture the imagination of the public and get people talking. From the Real Housewives of Melbourne to Downton Abbey, Gina Rinehart, Hillary Clinton and even Superman, no one is safe!
It’s the landmark comedy show that Australia has been waiting for. Subversive, energetic and risqué, everything is up for grabs – it’s literally Open Slather.

It’ll be like a 2015 version of Fast Forward – topical and funny 🙂 Only problem is we don’t have Foxtel…hope one of the FTA networks pick it up.
Finally! Some decent and talented comedy back on Aussie TV!
Hey David. Was just wondering if this was a 30 minute or 60 minute show? Very interested in this series. Thanks.
60 mins.
I cannot wait for this!!! Looooove the promos
Wow, those promos look stunning. Love me some Gina Riley and good to see that the rest of the girls are back together for this.
With Gina playing Gina and Magda playing Gina, it’s going to be easier to just call everybody Gina to save confusion.
this will either be incredible or worse than tens attempt at breakfast tv
Bring it on!
I’ve resisted subscribing to Foxtel thus far, but this has got me seriously thinking about it…
