It is hosted by stand-up comedian Wil Anderson, and co-hosted by fellow television and radio comedians Corinne Grant and Dave Hughes. Two additional guests join the regular cast each week, and the show takes the format of a panel discussion program. Guests include musicians, politicians, actors, radio personalities and other celebrities of varying calibre, such as Young Australian of the Year winners and Olympic athletes. Regular guests include comedians Adam Spencer and Akmal Saleh, netballer Liz Ellis, scientist Dr. Karl Kruszelnicki and Play School host Rhys Muldoon. The show allegedly received more fan requests for reappearances by Pinky Beecroft (from alternative band Machine Gun Fellatio) than for any other guest. (This was mentioned in his second appearance). The show often thrives on taking regular shots at, among others, Amanda Vanstone and Shane Warne.

The show is pre-recorded in front of a live audience in a Sydney studio. During the Melbourne International Comedy Festival, the show is taped there. The live shows actually last for quite longer than 30 minutes, and the final product is often the best bits of the shooting put together. When it was screened on Friday nights, the show infamously suffered from an inconsistent timeslot, but still managed to obtain a small but loyal following. Its Wednesday night timeslot appears to be more reliable.
