This monday's show will be so huge...we've been asked to save three seats for Gina Rinehart.

It's fast, it's funny, it's like #qanda, with lots of Q's but not many A's.

A Rational Fear is back, with a mega line up: Join Hungry Beast's Dan Ilic, and Lewis Hobba, with some of Australia's best comedians. Chris Taylor(The Chaser), Jennifer Wong (Can Of Worms), Mathew Kenneally (Political Asylum) Toby Halligan(Political Asylum) and Matt Okine (Winner: MICF 2012 Best Newcomer)

Also we have TWO special guests.... Tim Burrowes (Editor of Mumbrella) and Channel Nine's Leila McKinnon. This show is bigger than the Spain and Greece's debt combined.

So much so we'll be accepting your leftover Euros on the door.
