Pete Helliar

An International Kerfuffle

Perth, Gold Coast, Wollongong & Newcastle

What happens when a well-meaning comedian makes a cheeky joke about ISIS… during a live interview with Tim Cahill… on national TV… right before a World Cup qualifier against Honduras? 

A full-blown international incident, apparently. 

In this hilariously outrageous true story, Pete Helliar finds himself at the centre of a media firestorm after a throwaway line on The Project goes global.  

It’s a wild, hilarious deep dive into intent, outrage, and the terrifying power of one well-timed punchline. Was Pete off side—or just ahead of the game?

Strauchan-tember: Live

Melbourne

Grab your scarf and settle in, because the G.O.A.T is finally taking the stage.

For the first time ever, Bryan “Strauchanie” Strauchan steps out from behind the mic and into the spotlight, he’s live, unfiltered, and holding absolutely nothing back. From the locker room to the stadium, from the pre-game nerves to the post-game replay, Strauchanie takes you where the cameras never go, and he’s naming names the whole way through.

This finals season, there’s only one place to be. Forget September — this is Strauchan-tember, and it’s only running for three days.

Get up close, get personal, and get ready for the show every footy fan’s been waiting for.

Bryan “Strauchanie” Strauchan — Live. This September. Three days only.
