Wil Anderson  -  I Am The Wilrus

Not being a complete comedy aficionado I hadn’t remembered hearing about Wil Anderson, Perrier Newcomer nominee 1999. Partly not surprising as I can't remember names of people I have known for years.

Described as subsequently becoming one of Australia’s biggest comedy stars, having his own TV and radio shows I was less than blown away.  Yes he was funny in places but I was more amused than rolling about with laughter.  Perhaps it was to do with the wealth of Aussie references and antipodean 'in jokes' that the largely seeming Australian and New Zeeland audience were getting.

Certainly an enjoyable evening, but I think Ill let Geoff see this one should he be back at the Fringe again.
