Jeff Duff has been on the Australian and UK music scene causing a stir since the 1970s. Jeff foolishly invited Maynard to visit his funky Elizabeth Bay pad in Sydney to hear first hand, stories from his book This Will Explain Everything. Rude bits aplenty.

This fan site about Jeff Duff will explain anything his book may have missed.

Here is Jeff’s Walk on the Wildside with Bowie’s makeup artist.

He was there and lived it. We took a walk around the Hordern today while sharing some stories and flat out gossip. Join us in your 501s, Doc Martins and padded bomber jackets….

Carry A Big Shtick more like it.

Tim Ferguson has finally published his memoir, Carry A Big Stick, recalling his life and his intentionally comedic moments as well.

Ever since the very first time since I met Tim at the Adelaide Festival Fringe in 1986 when I presented the Doug Anthony All Stars with the “Pick Of The Fringe” award, that the Castanet Club had won the previous festival, I’ve wanted to see inside his house.

Well, dear listener, today is our day.

Tim opens up on his partners in comedy crime as well as his MS and his secret love for a film not made by George Lucas.

He also takes your questions, and you might not like his answers. I know I didn’t.

Tim Ferguson is my favourite failed NSW Senate candidate ever!

Tim Ferguson has been a funny guy all his life. Whether as part of Doug Anthony All Stars or producing shows for ABC & Foxtel. His new book tells you how to be funny, get rich and maybe even get laid. The Cheeky Monkey is almost as good as being in his screenwriting class at RMIT, except you don’t get to check out his hot ass.

Jack Marx never liked official Australian history, too much conformity and sucking up. His new book Australian Tragic celebrates and shines a light into our darker crevices. He reads from his book and reveals where his hair went. The list of insults written by the Australian press about Steve Irwin (before he died) is very impressive and worth the price of admission alone.
