C'mon, Have A Go! was an Australian television game show broadcast on the Seven Network in 1985 and 1986. The show was hosted by Tony Young.

In some ways reminiscent of Graham Kennedy's Blankety Blanks, C'mon was unrepentantly ocker in its format and presentation. Contestants, drawn from the studio audience, were warmly (and loudly) encouraged to participate in games outside their declared area of expertise - using the show's title as a chanted catchphrase. Young would subject incorrect answers to a good-natured ribbing, drawing on his talents as a stand-up comedian.

Though the show gained a loyal following, by the time of its second season it had become high camp - almost self-satirizing. With its creator and lead producer Sandy Scott lured away to work on a revival of the Family Feud format for Seven, the network quietly dropped a planned third season of C'mon from its 1987 lineup.

For his part, Young resumed a radio career in his native Adelaide. Since 1995 he has worked as a media consultant.
