Perth Writers Festival :: The Chaser Files
The Chaser is genuinely funny and beautifully irreverent
ANDREW DENTON, ENOUGH ROPE
It's the kind of asinine stuff that makes you laugh despite your best intentions
SUN HERALD
Facetious and offensive, The Chaser Annual is without a shadow of a doubt the biggest load of puerile rubbish you will read all year ... Of course, I laughed my head off - but whoever wrote this undergraduate drivel should stop smoking bongs and get a real job
THE AGE
They've lampooned everyone from politicians to cultural identities, religious icons to business leaders, and in the process they've been locked up, thrown out and told off. After declaring war on everything The Chaser team have proved that nothing is off limits. So what will happen when they bring their unique humour to bear on the Festival?
Irreverent, outrageous, seditious and hilarious are just some of the words directed at The Chaser. Join members of The Chaser team, Julian Morrow and co-founder and writer Dominic Knight for the inside story on the war on everything as they relive some of their most brazen and downright foolhardy stunts and give you a behind the scenes tour of life in The Chaser camp. It will be audacious, impertinent and very funny - don't become the first casualty by missing out on a ticket.
