What Show Will Win Best Scripted Comedy at The Logie Awards 2024?

Comedy is one of the hardest art forms to get right.

Humor is extremely subjective, and while some forms like slapstick seem timeless, in the modern age, it is one of the hardest types of show or film to write without annoying a few people!

It seems that in 2024, two forms of comedy are the most persistent: cross-genre comedy, like a rom-com or horror comedy and nostalgia and reboots. Many people are eager to watch shows and films with a more modern upgrade while keeping the funny bits in. It’s something of a tricky thing to accomplish without ruffling a few feathers!

With that in mind, which Australian comedy is most likely to win the Best Scripted Comedy Award at The Logie Awards in 2024?

1xBet odds at 1.91 predict a 52.36% chance that Deadloch will win the Best Scripted Comedy Award in 2024. Discover the current Odds now HERE.

Line Up Selections- Which Shows Are In There?

In June 2024, the Logie Awards released their nominee line-up for the Best Scripted Comedy.

This list includes:

• Deadloch– this is an Australian black comedy/crime mystery TV series which was released on Amazon Prime in June 2023.
• Utopia– Premiering in 2013, Utopia is in its fifth season and is one of those feel-good comedies. Of course, it’s based around an office!
• In Limbo– An interesting and edgy comedy, Limbo uses humor to highlight the very real issue surrounding male suicide rates and male difficulties in daily life.
• Strife– A comedy-drama following a professional female writer who is trying to balance her professional and personal life.
• Mother and Son – A reboot, this follows the lives of a slightly senile widow and her adult son, who live together, but have a bit of a love-hate relationship. Relatable to many people in 2024!
• Population– A comedy thriller, this follows a bank teller who travels to Australia to find his missing dad, with all the culture shocks that come with that!

Who Chooses The Winner?

The winners of the Logies are decided by a mixture of public votes and judges’ votes. This means that it is somewhere on the more professional end of the awards spectrum, with some official and professional oversight.

So, it may be worth looking at who the judges are, too, as well as which comedies have the best ratings and reviews before you place your bet!

Winners in Previous Years

In 2023, the winner of the Best Scripted Comedy at the Logie Awards was a rom-com called ‘Colin From Accounts.’ This featured a couple getting together and through misunderstanding, getting everything wrong in a hilarious manner. It was written by husband-and-wife team Patrick Brammal and Harriet Dyer, who admitted to drawing on their own experiences.

So, will real-world, relatable comedy be the winner this year? Or will it need to be a bit more outlandish, as people seem to need more extreme mediums to keep their attention?
