Australian sketch series “Big Girl’s Blouse” featuring
the early work of Jane Turner, Gina Riley and Magda
Szubanski of “Kath and Kim”. The series will make its
U.S. television premiere on Sundance Channel in 2008.
The announcement was made by Laura Michalchyshyn,
Executive Vice President and GM, Programming and
Creative Affairs, Sundance Channel. Sundance Channel
previously aired the first three seasons of “Kath and
Kim.”

“Sundance Channel viewers are huge fans of ‘Kath and
Kim’,” commented Michalchyshyn. “So we are very
excited to present the U.S premiere of the early work
from some of Australia’s finest comedians Jane Turner,
Gina Riley and Magda Szubanski”
