Hey Grouse House TV subscribers, it’s Lee here - you might know me from being Greg’s enemy in The Greg Larsen Show, or being yelled at by Ben and Mish in a recent MUGG episode. I’m the Head of Grouse House and I’ve been working hard for months getting this streamer ready to roll.

Now it’s launched, I’m overwhelmed with gratitude at how many of you have jumped on board and supported us so early. It’s definitely a long term project for us, and we’ll be adding more and more content on here over time, as well as keeping up regular YouTube content. But we’re stoked with how many of you have signed up already!

As a little reward for those who’ve jumped on board so early, I’m doing a little giveaway. For 5 subscribers, I’m offering either 2 x tickets to a Most Upsetting Guessing Game Live in Melbourne, Sydney or Brisbane, OR a Grouse House prize pack including a copy of the EXCUSIVE Grouse Zone Magazine we made for the launch party and some merch (I’ll try and track down a Grouse House tshirt or stubby holder or some other cool things).

All you have to do is DM us on Instagram a picture of you enjoying Grouse House TV in the most unusual/funniest place, and I’ll pick 5 winners that make me giggle the most. I’ll repost those photos on the Grouse House socials, so don’t post rude pics or dox your kids or anything like that.

It closes midday on Wednesday 8th April Melbourne time, so you have time to get a ticket to a MUGG Live that week if that’s what you want. Thanks again for your early support, you all rule!

Hello Dear Grouse Houser,

It’s me, Broden Kelly, from the waving sketch in the series Ripper Aussie Summer on the Aunty Donna Youtube Channel.

Thank you so much for joining us on this new shiny platform. We’re very excited to have you here. Have a wander around and see what you like why don’t you.

This is a bit of a passion project for all of us. The first thing that all of us Aunty Donna boys connected over was our mutual love of the comedy shows we grew up watching. We’d stay up late into the night drinking hot cocoa, bonding over bits from Micallef or Lano and Woodley or Kristen Schaal is a Horse on the Melbourne Comedy Festival Gala. From that we started to build our own comedic identity.

As we came through the Australian comedy scene we were lucky enough to meet and observe some of the most brilliant comedians growing and finding their audience around us. Sam Campbell, Becky Lucas, Aaron Chen, Greg Larsen, Michelle Brasier, Rhys Nicholson to name a few. We were constantly blown away by the levels of talent in Australia and New Zealand despite the fact they weren’t ever really been showcased on TV. As Aunty Donna put more and more stuff online (and not really getting our mugs on the telly much), comedy lovers like yourself turned out to our shows and showed us love, letting us know we were on the right track and to keep going.

There’s a bit of rhetoric out there, particularly in the old media, that Australia doesn’t make good comedy anymore. I personally know that couldn’t be further from the truth. We just don’t support them like we did when we were growing up.

That’s why we’re doing Grouse House. As TV and Radio make less and less comedy, we want to make a place that can keep making and showcasing Aussie Comedy. A place for the new awesome comedians and writers to be able to make their own brilliant ideas whilst getting paid and entertaining as many people as possible.

As you can see, we’re clearly in our early stages here, there’s lots of room to grow. We understand that your support from us in the early days on this platform is more of a gesture of support for getting this place up and going and we really appreciate it. In part, consider your subscription to Grouse House as a way to champion and underwrite Aussie comedy. It’s support we greatly appreciate, please take pride in being a part in what we’re creating.

In closing, welcome to Grouse House, I hope we can make something great together.

Cum,

Broden.

I mean, I think the key info is in the title of this post - we’re doing 8 shows at MICF over 4 nights. Different cast each night, why not tell us who you’d like to see in the live show, and we’ll ignore it and cast Greg Larsen in them all anyway!

Get tickets here and thanks for supporting fucked comedy. TICKETS BE HERE

Hello, Grouse House here. Firstly, a huge thank you to YOU for subscribing to this platform. We’ve built it to connect cooked comedy to fans of cooked comedy. Your subscription fees go directly towards us making new shows and bringing them to The People (which includes you). But I reckon you already know this.

We’ll be updating this site with exclusive content and early access to Grouse House shows, as well as new cooked stuff and fun features. There’s also an app for your telephone and television, which has all the content but you don’t earn any Grouse Coins for those.

Thanks for being part of the Future,

The Grouse House Team 2026
