A fully improvised quiz show where the experts are idiots.

Kyran Nicholson and his celebrity guest see just how badly they go attempting a quiz - with the trusty assistance of the brains trust phoning in (read: the best improv comedians in Melbourne/The World deep, and sometimes shallow, in character).

If you like impro, this is for you.

  • It Lives! 🙌

    A joy to see Wax return! This was always an absolutely unhinged delight.

    Seeing the first episode back feature “God/Devil” and no mention of Luke McGregor is going to be a rough change.

    Having the improvisers be Something Good’ers is fun, but it was also great to have others like Zach Ruane or Michelle Brasier as characters.. But they aren’t in Something Good! 🫢🤯

    EDIT: The phone is such a nice added touch! 🤣

  • Facts and Funnies: Fun AND *educational* (*or at least the very last 10 minutes)

    A great show and fun format, I like to listen at work to get me through the office grind. Multiple occasions I have had to apologise to my colleagues for laughing uncontrollably. 10/10, can recommend!
