    Heath Franklin. And some of the stuff Fletch and Hindy do is pretty funny.

    I agree with earlier sentiments around Leigh Hart. He'd be the funniest Kiwi this century.

    Old mate that hosts 7 Days is a funny MC. Some of his ad-lib is hilarious.

    To be fair, there isn't much competition in this country.

    I guess top-quality sarcasm would have this "are you taking the piss" element to it...

    I agree with earlier sentiments around Leigh Hart. (I assume, that he's about as funny as one's cleanest available underwear being the set you shat in last night)
    &

    Are, sadly, probably not contradictory.

    I’ll have to have a look at this later, dinner plans are getting in the way but Black Books ( so good watching this again on Netflix ) is one of the all time great British Comedies. Hopefully this is decent too.

    Now THAT'S how you own your shit!

    Been working on the 2 x almost-teens ability to laugh at themselves, accept their mistakes etc.

    You think they're too young for this educational piece? 🤣

    @voodoo share for sure ha ha. This at the upper end of artistry for owning your mistakes and sharing your reflections. At worst it'll be a great source of awkward humour you can tease your kids about! win/win!!

    Known about in the most unlikely places. Sent a link to the Fred Dagg "Never teach a Sheila to drive a tractor" sketch to the farmer up the lane as he was doing exactly that with his girlfriend/now wife.

    He immediately came back with "Is that the bloke who did "The Front Fell Off"?

    Certainly is. I was sent a link to it by a Brit mate from Hong Kong. He's never been to Aus or NZ but knew John Clarke's work. "The front fell off" must have been quite big in Britain?

    It's such a stupid joke. Just executed perfectly.

    Don't think so - more a viral thing I guess. I've sent links of his stuff to friends and they've become immediate fans. One teaches English Lit at a red-brick uni and thinks his poetry inspired.
