    Default I gotta question for the Aussies on this board....

    ..have any of you heard of an Australian comedian, Chris Franklin? I think he sometimes goes by, "The Bloke".

    I'm curious. There is an article about him in the Melbourne Herald Sun. He is involved in a prodcution I am working with. All I really know is what my "bosses" tell me of him.

    Just wanted some feedback. Thanks.

    I have heard of him but i cant tell you much about him sorry. I just know that he is sometimes on the melbourne radio station NOVA and he sounds like a funny guy.

    What sort of production is it if you dont mind me asking?
    You love it!

    It's a comedic feature film, starring Chris. Part of it will be shot here in LA and the rest in Melbourne in July.

    He did a cover of The Radiators song Gimmie Head called Mullethead which got a bit of airplay and he played a character in Pizza too - the yob bloke, lol.
    And other stuff too obviously, i just cant remember what.

    Cool to know. We have a guarenteed theatrical release in Australia. It's good to know he is liked.

    Pizza has been my only real exposure to this comedian. He isn't one of the exceptionally well known here.... if I never saw Pizza then I wouldn't know who the hell he is... compared to Rove McManus, Pete Halligner, Arj Barker, the ex-Glasshouse crew and so forth.

    Not that this matters but you have Arj Barker in a list of otherwise Australian comedians, lol.

    Chris Franklin is well known on the comedy circuit, Ive seen him do stand up at the odd gig too.

    Theres a list of his stuff here, wow I didnt realise he could cook when i met him, lol!

    No. This project is all about Chris being surrounded by some American B-List actors.

    I'll have to look the others up:-)
