Karl Chandler is 100 Jokes Per Hour is all about jokes. Weird, I know.
Don't believe there's 100? Well... come along and count them, don't
concentrate on the punchlines, and miss the funny bits. Wait. I haven't
thought this through.
Karl Chandler is one of the country's freshest up-and-comers, and one of the best writers of a joke in Australia.
His jokes are clever, funny and packaged in a nice round number, unlike
many of today's performers who don't even count their jokes. Forget those
jerks.
With a style likened to Steven Wright, Mitch Hedberg and Demetri Martin,
there's no long-winded stories here. Just razor-sharp ideas and word-play plus a few stupid jokes so you can take a breather. |

But as Jack grew up he realised he was no Han Solo or Indiana Jones. He's not 24's Jack Bauer or even Zorro from... err Zorro. Jack's childhood dream of becoming a daring crusader was crushed - or so he thought!

My dad often says, "Keep yourself nice." It means, "Just be a good person."
I think more people should take my dad's advice... including myself. Basically: I'm going to tee off on arseholes for an hour... including myself. |

An early preview screening of the film The End of the Line is a must see for
all lovers of seafood. Imagine an ocean without fish. Imagine your meals
without seafood. Imagine the global consequences. This is the future if we
do not stop, think and act FAST. Sydney residents will be able to attend
the early screening of The End of the Line - the world's first major feature
documentary highlighting the devastating effect of overfishing. The preview
screening will be hosted by Sydney Aquarium Conversation Fund (SACF) and
Nature Conversation Council of NSW, supported by the Save Our Marine Life
campaign, prior to its expected cinema release in early 2010.
All proceeds from tickets sales will help fund SACF's and Nature
Conservation Council's important local marine conservation work. |
