A group of young Aussie comedians attempt to predict the news before it happens, with the help of sketches and music provided by a house band.
At a time when journalism has become all about speed, many broadcasters claim to deliver the news ‘as it happens’. A growing emphasis on live streaming and twenty four hour coverage has shifted the currency of broadcast news from accuracy to attention and skeptical consumers feel disenfranchised with this change in priorities.
The Forecast takes this changing standard onboard but dares to go one better, by bringing viewers the news before it happens. At its core, The Forecast is a sketch comedy show that operates under this satirical framework and employs elements of satire, mock interviews and cabaret to drive home humorous predictions about the week of news and current affairs ahead. A house band gives the show a late-night feel and pairs well with the crooning jazzy vocals. Aussie sketch actors and comedians bring the predictions of “The Oracle” to life.
The Forecast & Friends is a monthly live show based on the original Aussie web series. Guest stand-ups join the group in a fun, off the cuff evening of giggles galore.
Here are the best moments from the debut season of The Forecast: News, Before it Happens. A Nevus original web-series.
