FUNNYMEN: Comedians Paul Ego, Dai Henwood and Jeremy Corbett star in 7 Days Live.
With the cameras nowhere to be seen, the cast of TV3 panel show 7 Days turned up the filth at Auckland's Sky City Theatre last night.
To give the audience a taste of what was to come, host Jeremy Corbett kicked off with a string of expletives - just because he could.
No subject was out of bounds at the NZ International Comedy Festival show - intimacy with the Queen, Kim Dotcom's nether regions and Dai Henwood's dodgy games at scouts.
But just like the TV show, they kept it relevant to the week's news with lots of banter about John Banks' antics, Tim Shadbolt's world record and the bear that fell out of the tree.
Auckland Labour MP Jacinda Ardern got a decent roasting during the popular segment Yes Minister, getting labelled with nicknames like Juicy Acorn.
However, she also got in a few jibes of her own.
"I'm a little bit nervous, six men plus Paul Ego."
Instead of the usual My Kid Could Draw That, the audience was asked to sketch events of the week and hand them in before the show.
But former Waitakere College student Kaylee didn't quite get the game, and instead of drawing a news item, gave the comics a bizarre sketch of a man peeing on a marijuana plant, which she claimed happened outside her work the day before.
The joys of what you can't edit out in front of a live crowd.
