Wil Anderson - Australian Comedian

[Pindar]

Went to see him last night at the Edinburgh Festival.

Very funny comedian, I take it he is big in Australia, what can Australian members recommend that he might have been in?

Anyone around Edinburgh for the tail end of the Fringe should go see him.

Best joke about fingering ever!

Weeeellll, I'm not completely sold on his standup. Sometimes he's very funny, sometimes not fully, sometimes he just crosses the line. But that might be me.

He used to be the host of a show like HIGNFY called The Glass House, I'm pretty sure there are clips of it on YT. It was pretty sharp, with Anderson and another regular called Dave Hughes.

He did a follow up series called The Gruen Transfer about advertising and how it works. It too was very sharp and very informative, abiout how and why ads are amde,a dn their influence. Really worth looking out. They shoudl show it in any country where the media is dominated by advertising. I don't know if it'll work wherever you are, but here's a link:

Interesting, I see I can buy the Gruen Transfer on DVD.

Thanks.
