Peter Helliar is one of Australia’s favourite comedians, and has been a regular fixture on our TV screens for over 20 years. First appearing on Rove live in 1999, Pete has been entertaining us as a stand up, writer, producer, actor, presenter and author, and makes the difficult business of being funny look dead easy. In this episode we find out how Peter is managing the next stage of his life after walking away from The Project and if he has any regrets about his decision. Not one to attract headlines, Pete enjoys a private life and is selective on what he shares publicly and on stage. Behind his upbeat exterior there has been heartbreak, as we discover his decision to share the story in the hope of helping others. Pete is currently touring his his brand new standup show, Deconstructed Origami, you can find dates and ticket info HERE The Jess Rowe Big Talk Show acknowledges the Gadigal people, Traditional Custodians of the land on which we recorded this podcast, and pay our respects to their Elders past, present and extend that respect to all Aboriginal and Torres Strait Islanders peoples here today.
