About

Writing funny books for kids looks easy. Just pack the pages with stinky jokes and gross out gags and you’ve got an instant bestseller…right? WRONG!

We’re handing the stage over to three of Australia’s funniest children’s authors to crack open their comedic craniums and reveal their mind-blowing methods. Former Nickelodeon TV producer Mick Elliott (Uranus FC series) joins beloved comedian Tanya Hennessy (Sunny and Storm) and bestselling comic mastermind Matt Stanton (Funny Kid series, Duck).

Warning: audiences may encounter explosive laughter, daring drawings and a joyous good time.

Recommended ages 7+
