The K8's sozzled kitchen sizzles
Chase_Witherspoon12 March 2015
Parodies the current plethora of banal cooking shows & fads, featuring a pair of thirty- something spinsters, one a dedicated foodie (McLennan) home-schooling the lactose, fructose, gluten-intolerant reluctant novice (McCartney), conjuring kitchen disasters as the duo imbibe their way to an online cult following.

The K8's are obviously seasoned writers/performers, their material is sharp, witty, daring and economical, each episode a compact 7-8 minute laugh that consequently rarely loses momentum. My personal favourite is the "We Quit Sugar" instalment, the pair discovering the pitfalls of crash dieting as fatigue takes hold, and tempers begin to fray.

While the ubiquitous "Christmas Special" has already appeared in the six-part series, I hope there's a second series and a lot more to come from these talented comediennes. Well worth a look.

Not for everyone...but addictively funny.

Kate McCartney and Kate McLennan are two Aussie comediennes who have created a short series of cooking show parodies that are well worth seeing. One Kate is allergic to pretty much everything and spends most episodes getting drunk. Her friend is a terrible cook and does a lot to make the other Kate feel terrible about her food addictions!

I strongly recommend the show because it's so darn funny. The only caveat is that the humor is very adult...the language and some of the situations. So don't show it to your kids or your overly sensitive mother or Father O'Malley!
