Wil Anderson

Top Aussie comedian drops by to star on TV3's '7 DAYS' and hang out at The Classic

As seen on Rove and the Gruen Transfer on Comedy Central.


Wil is a truly prolific stand up, generating a totally new, sharply-written show every year since 1997.

�For five years he hosted Australia's most listened to breakfast radio show, was the host of the AFI award-winning ABC-TV hit The Glass House for five years and is currently the host of The Gruen Transfer which launched in 2008, landing the biggest audience ever for an ABC-TV debut. He is also a popular columnist in Australia's highest selling newspaper and has published a book of those columns. Not too bad for a bloke who says he got into comedy through "lack of other skills".

Despite his success on TV, Radio and in print, stand up comedy is Wil's passion and he spends months on the road every year, jamming in tours between his media commitments.

Politics, pop and the banal come together delivered with more conviction and enthusiasm that any man's vocal chords can take. Wil has earned a Perrier Best Newcomer nomination in Edinburgh and has appeared on the prestigious Montreal Just For Laughs gala three times.
