Bryan Dawe is one of Australia’s finest political satirists. He has enjoyed a long, successful career writing and performing on national radio, television and film.

Best-known for his work with John Clarke on the ABC’s 7.30 Report where they prick the balloons of the nation’s alleged political leaders. Bryan was also a cast member and writer of the critically acclaimed and highly successful spoof of the Sydney Olympics, the ABC TV series ‘The Games’

His film credits include the Australia hit comedy ‘The Castle’, ‘The Honorable Wally Norman’ and Paul Cox’s ‘Lust and Revenge’.
For many years, Bryan has been writing and performing two much loved satirical characters on ABC Radio: ‘Sir Murray Rivers QC and ‘Roly Parks’ with his ‘Letter Kalangadoo’.

Bryan’s sharp wit and observation together with his flexibility and unique performances make him a popular addition to any corporate event. His obvious talent lends itself to MC, facilitator, hypothetical moderator, conference speaker and after dinner entertainer.

Presentations include:

‘Sir Murray Rivers QC’ Sir Murray Rivers QC (retired) is one of Australia’s most controversial legal and political figures. He is a former Victorian Supreme Court Judge and an outspoken media commentator.

This is a hilariously clever thirty minutes of humour and wit which confronts serious social and political issues in a satirical way that only Bryan can deliver.

“Roly Parks – Letter Kalangadoo”

Roly Parks lives in a town called Kalangadoo – a real town in the South east of Australia. Each week Roly writes a letter to his son, Gene, who lives in London with his partner, Ahmed. They are both ironic and humorous but they can also be deeply touching, ranging his ongoing encounters with his former wife of fifty years, Sonya, the town gossip Beryl Coates or the burial of his best mate “Bull” Devine.
