It is almost hard to imagine Australian comedy without Wil Anderson.
Wil seems to host two tv shows and four podcasts. At least one of those is one of the ABC's most popular shows of all time, the multi award winning Gruen, where he dissects the art of the pitch and the hucksters who want our dollars or our votes.
Wil also created and produces Question Everything a weekly panel show bringing the funniest minds in the country, including co-host Jan Fran, to attempt to separate fact from fiction in our truth optional world.
Wil is one of Australia's most successful stand-up comedians. He has won the People's Choice Award at the Melbourne Comedy Festival a record breaking six times and has sold more tickets than any other comedian in the festival's history. Wil is a relentless innovator, with each show better than the last and after twenty-five years he still managed to win the Director's Choice award in 2022.

This was a difficult situation for us, and Wil's surprise performance went a huge way to making the best of a difficult situation. All feedback was exceptional.
Wil was fantastic with overcoming technical issues during the Awards which were completely out of his control. He dealt with this with humor and without missing a beat which added to the seamless presentation and delivery of his event component.
