WIL ANDERSON
COMEDIAN / WRITER / BROADCASTER / PRESENTER
2008 sees Wil Anderson returning not only to the nations airwaves on Triple M’s national Drive Show, “Wil and Lehmo”, but also to its TV Screens and theatre stages.
Previously host of ABC TVs AFI Award winning program, The Glass House, Wil returns to Aunty this year to host The Gruen Transfer, and will be seen around the country with a new stand up show, BeWILdered.
Wil is a stand up first and foremost, touring Australia and the world at every opportunity, performing more than a hundred shows a year. His stand up is a densely written, high-speed ride though one of the most wonderful comedic imaginations in the country. Politics, pop and the banal come together in a Wil Anderson routine, always delivered with more conviction and enthusiasm than any man’s vocal chords can take.
In amongst the TV hosting, radio announcing and constant touring Wil has managed to write a highly popular regular column for Australia’s most highly read magazine, The Sunday Magazine, and his first book, ‘Survival Of The Dumbest’ [Random House] is still on the bestseller list.
