Funny Buggers: The Best Lines from Australian Stand-up Comedy
Author: Karl Chandler
Karl Chandler is a funny bugger and so are his mates. In fact, our local talent has been killing it in clubs and festivals the world over. Lucky for us, these comics have worked around their hectic schedules – setting their alarm clocks for before midday and logging off Twitter – to cough up some of the most pants-wettingly funny stuff you'll read all year.
This is a line-up of the hottest comedians around, giving you a front-row seat to their best material.
