[Ken Gargett]

the post of queries re visiting australia reminded me of this. always thought it one of the funniest things o've ever seen.

BUT serious language warning.

it is about 20 years old i guess but still relevant.

Brilliant. Fresh as ever!

He's one my favourite stand up. It took me quite a while to fully understand him.

Love gus stuff, real shame to hear how ill he has gotten; bowel cancer, Parkinsons and gone almost completely deaf in the space of a year.

He enjoys cigars too

OK when you say it like that, the place is pretty fu#*ed up.

I used to live in Townsville and the kids would wear anti-stinger suits to swim in the ocean. They were made from the same stuff as pantihose. I've no idea if they actually saved you from stingers. Looking back, maybe shouldn't have let the kids go swimming in the first place!!

Anyway probably have a greater chance of getting attacked by a pissed bogan on Palmer Street then getting stung by an irukandji jelly fish. Google that if you never want to go into the water again.

Yes sad to hear of his health situation as I am a huge fan --been to his last 4 Australian tours to see him live and have most of his dvd's.

A true comedian and great bloke, his charity work speaks for itself.

Best wishes.
