Australian comedy trio Aunty Donna has launched Grouse House TV, a subscription streaming platform dedicated to independent Australian comedy, headlined by an interactive choose-your-own-adventure sketch called Bandersketch — a parody of Netflix's Black Mirror: Bandersnatch — in which wrong choices can leave viewers stranded watching a 40-minute real-time walk around Melbourne. The platform follows the model of US independent services such as Dropout, curating niche, community-driven content for dedicated fans rather than competing for mass-market algorithmic reach. The move comes as Australian broadcast comedy has contracted sharply — adult scripted TV output fell from 520 hours in 1999 to just 116 in 2023 — leaving emerging comedians with few viable pathways to sustainable careers.
