Nine to Noon

Friday, 13 November

10:05 am

Craig Reucassel and Andrew Hansen, two members of Australia's comedy group The Chaser. They've just published The Chaser Annual 2009 which marks ten years of the satirical group - it's a very light-hearted look at what made headlines in Australia over the past year.

Their comedy sketch show, The Chaser's War On Everything, has been on TV since 2006 and is notorious for pushing the boundaries. Craig and Andrew tell us about creating a fake motorcade to get someone dressed as Osama Bin Laden through the security checks at Sydney's APEC meeting in 2007; flying a blimp into protected airspace above the Vatican; and why they publicly apologised for a sketch about terminally ill children's dying wishes.

The Chaser team: L-R Chas Licciardello, Chris Taylor, Craig Reucassel, Andrew Hansen and Julian Morrow
