PRESS RELEASE

Riverside Studios present

One of Australia's biggest comedic stars, Wil Anderson comes to the Riverside studios for two weeks this December. Nominated for the Perrier Newcomer award in 1999, this is Wil's London debut . Back in Australia, he has been hosting his own top rating TV & Radio shows for nearly ten years, not to mention the massive, sold out national tours. Wil is rare in the world of stand-up comedy in that year after year his shows keep getting sharper, edgier and most importantly - funnier.

His stand up is a densely written, high-speed thrilling ride though one of the most wonderful comedic imaginations in the stand up world. Wil mixes politics, pop and the petty, all coming together with more conviction and enthusiasm than any man's vocal chords should be able to take.

In amongst the TV hosting, radio announcing and constant touring Wil, appearing at the Just for Laughs gala in Montreal three times, he 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 lists.
