Chris Parker, Alex Ward, Luke McGregor and Melanie Bracewell are joining Sam Pang and host Tom Gleisner for tonight’s edition of Have You Been Paying Attention? on 10.
Tonight’s panel brings together four comedians with plenty happening across television and stand-up.
New Zealand comedian Chris Parker comes to the desk after making his Australian debut on Thank God You’re Here, where he won his episode.

Parker is also taking his solo stand-up show Take a Good Look at Me across Australia and New Zealand, following his sold-out 2025 tour Stop Being So Dramatic.
Away from the stage, he co-hosts The Male Gayz podcast alongside fellow comedian Eli Matthewson.
Parker previously won Celebrity Treasure Island NZ, raising $100,000 for charity. He had earlier attracted a viral social media following by crafting felt hats during lockdowns.
Also facing Gleisner’s questions tonight is Alex Ward, who is headlining the Melbourne International Comedy Festival Roadshow while touring her solo stand-up show Literally Anyone.
Alongside her regular panel show appearances, Ward has worked behind the scenes as a television writer, contributing to The Project, Taskmaster Australia and At Home With Julia.
Luke McGregor joins the line-up after returning to the road with Okay, Wow, his first full solo stand-up tour in eight years.

The name of the show came from a catchphrase used by McGregor’s young stepson.
On television, McGregor is best known for co-creating and starring in the ABC sitcom Rosehaven. He has also competed on Season 1 of Taskmaster Australia and The Amazing Race Australia: Celebrity Edition.
Completing tonight’s guest panel is Melanie Bracewell, who already has a regular presence on 10 as co-host of weekly news-satire program The Cheap Seats alongside Tim McDonald.
Bracewell is also touring her latest stand-up hour, Dilly Dallying, across Australia and New Zealand, with a live special taping scheduled at the Brisbane Powerhouse.
The four guests will now see how closely they have been following the headlines when they face Gleisner’s questions alongside Pang tonight.
Have You Been Paying Attention? airs tonight, Monday, August 10, at 8.30pm on 10.
