You Couldn't Make it Up - Newstalk's "comedy" panel show

    Has anyone heard You Couldn't Make it Up? It's on Newstalk on a Sunday evening, it started 2 or 3 weeks ago, and is a "comedy" panel show which also includes some sketch comedy at the end.

    When I heard about the show I was hopeful, expecting an Irish version of Have I got news for you or something similar. Instead we got comedy at it's loosest definition, the jokes fell flat, the editing was awful and the structure of the show is strange:
    3 rounds, the first about people, the second about quotes and the third about places (all based around topical news stories). At the end of the show the 2 teams have to come up with a sketch based on the people, quote and places discussed.

    Utterly let down, the main comedy aspect they kept going back to was funny accents :rolleyes: I only listened to the whole recording of episode 1 because it was on my phone (podcast) and I was out walking with stuff in my hands stopping me getting at the phone, otherwise I would have deleted very quickly.

    Anyone else hear the show and think better of this?
