Our favourite TV hosts come together for a mighty good cause.

AMAZING.

All our favourite TV faces including Samantha Armytage, Peter Overton, Richard Wilkins, Lee Lin Chin, Simon Reeve, Jessica Rowe, Carrie Bickmore and Angela Bishop are pitching in for a good cause.

This music video for ABC’s Friday Night Crack Up has them all singing “Stuck in the Middle” in colourful windows that puts the Brady Bunch to shame.

 

It’s a promo for an event hosted by Eddie Perfect this Friday. A two-hour variety show will be filmed live in front of studio audience in Sydney, with hit musical numbers, sketches, improv games and a whole lot of fun from some of Oz’s best known comedians and hosts, all to support mental health research.

Eddie Perfect says “I can’t lie. I have no idea how a live television variety show in support of Mental Health Week is going to work because none of us have done this before. What I do know is that we have an unprecedented line-up of singers, actors, musicians, comedians and writers joining together despite their conflicting network affiliations, throwing caution to the wind and bringing their considerable gifts to the table in support of mental health.

“It’s precisely my anarchic idea of a good time, actually. It’s time to talk about mental health; an issue which eventually touches every single one of us. Might as well enjoy ourselves while we’re at it.”

Tune in on Friday at 7.30 on the ABC. A crack up for a good cause.
