Where The Wil Things Are |
This is the blog of Australian stand-up comedian Wil Anderson. I have a TV show that normally has the name Gruen in it, a podcast called TOFOP, a DVD called Wilosophy and a couple of books called Survival of the Dumbest and Friendly Fire. I now have a Tumblr, but I haven't really told anyone about it yet, so thanks for stumbling on to me. Leave a comment somewhere so I know you visited. |
just-olivia asked: My Mum listened to JJJ when I was younger so I grew up with you and Adam in the mornings and when you left Mum took my brother and I to the show you two did together and I was about 8 and you definitely introduced me to some new words and concepts... (:
I can imagine. And today Adam announced he is leaving his breakfast show on 702. I am guessing he won’t have a drunken tour like that one to celebrate…
riotsandrevolutions asked: I'm not quite sure if it has come across your dashboard as of yet, but I would just like to say I am very proud when I see the post (which is nearly at 250,000 notes of recent times) of your well known quote of gay people in the military. Friends from across the globe have reblogged it themselves, as have I... and a belated happy birthday. I've been internet lazy this week! I hope you had a great one :)
Thanks mate, I have seen this. I love when anyone wants to make a meme out of my work. I think it’s cool when your ideas inspire other people to be creative, and that line that I used once on GNW has ended up having a second life of its own.
Dad and I on the day he was presented with his Order Of Australia medal.
fingerknucklenightclub asked: I realise this may come across as a little weird HOWEVER I think it is important you know that I remember some of the dumb jingles you mad up for the Wil & Lehmo show better than I remember some of the events in my own life? Like I don't remember a thing about any of my birthdays but you singing Fuifui Moimoi's name to the tune of 'Louie Louie' is permanently burnt into my brain.
Thanks for that mate. Sam Mac and I used to have a lot of fun putting those together. The more ridiculous the more we enjoyed ourselves.
Me being interviewed on the radio on AFL Grand Final day. I had to look one of my all-time heroes Leigh Matthews in the eye and tell him I hoped that the Swans would beat the Hawks.
stumblin-in-the-neon-grove asked: Comedians often have drinks on stage, how long do you think it will be until a comedian eats a full meal on stage? (P.S. Big fan. ;) )
I did finish my Comic’s Lounge gigs last year eating cake. I had to make people laugh for long enough that I could take a bite. At one stage I got cocky and thought I made them laugh so much I could take two bites, turns out it was more a one-and-a-half bite joke.
overwaterandcloud asked: I just want you to know that when Mum saw my TOFOP poster she asked: "Why is there a little man down there?!" And I replied: "That's an average sized man". Here for you, Wil.
Yes, an average-sized man (although according to the penis-size/nationality survey in the paper today, slightly about average size!).
shinyavarice asked: If you and Adam switched hosting shows on the ABC one time would anyone even notice?
I would like to think so. No offence to Adam who I think is great at what he does, but I would like to think our styles are very different. If we swapped and no-one noticed I think I would stop doing comedy altogether…
Not sure why this one was in my phone, but you won’t get any arguments from me…
On the notice board at the local hospital. Clown from the neck down.
