Australia's best-selling
author of outback humour, Sandy Thorne, is also
Australia's funniest yarnspinner and performer of
outrageous bush verse.
Australia's first and only
professional female bush humorist, she's performed at
countless conferences, festivals and other events, as
well as on television and radio, all over Australia, New
Zealand and the U.S. since launching her first book on
the The Midday Show by ripping the top off a stubbie with
her teeth.
After seeing her doing the same
thing on the David Letterman Show, the New York Post
dubbed her "Crocodile Dundish."
Sandy's presentations are ideal to
be the "Australian cultural component" of an event with
international visitors. Her material is original and
authentic, based on her own experiences as a jilleroo,
bull catcher and horse breaker in the far north and far
west - the wags 'n dags she met and worked with - their
amazing toughness, dry wit and spirit.
She tailors her wealth of material
to suit the audience - whether it consists of sportsmen
on the rantan, ladies at a posh luncheon, or
international visitors. Her never-fail ice-breaker
"Learning Australian" is a humorous explanation in verse
of our Aussie slang.
Listen to a couple of Sandy
jokes in these Quicktime Movies.
