Gut-busting, controversy-generating, deliriously politically incorrect Aussie legend Paul Fenech – the ingenious creator and star of tearaway TV classics like FAT PIZZA, HOUSOS, BOGAN HUNTERS, and DARRADONG LOCAL COUNCIL, and a scene-stealing contestant on SAS Australia – is back with a new show, and you can see it first at The Inner West Film Fest!
Fenech’s most daring show ever (and that’s really saying something!), PAUL FENECH: OUTBACK OUTLAW COMEDIAN, is set to screen on TV later this year, but will enjoy a sneak peek screening at this year’s festival. The live show of the same name, which toured Australia’s outer suburbs and regional centres, was a two-hour extravaganza featuring punter games, parody songs, stand-up comedy and never-before-seen footage in a bourbon-fuelled Boganomical Multimedia comedy spectacular… complete, of course, with Pauly’s now patented and world renowned Thongings!
Now snappily repackaged into a TV show, the screen version of PAUL FENECH: OUTBACK OUTLAW COMEDIAN offers not just an Access All Areas pass into Fenech’s hard-charging shenanigans, but also behind the scenes footage and commentary that will have you crying with laughter.
"I travel around the country doing a lot of live stand-up pretty much half the year. I meet a lot of people and I get to see what Aussies are really thinking, feeling, and speaking about. I try to keep my humour close to where everyone’s collective culture brain is at." –– Paul Fenech
