Not counting any of the hilarious forummers. .

Isnt Mark Little funny? hmmm
Shane Warnes appearance in Neighbours was pure comedy though, he maybe able to play cricket but he should never be an actor

It says Eric Bana is a comedian? Look i know the acting in the Hulk was laughable but come on.

Now Billy Birmingham might strike a cord with several Aussie forummers, he has something to do with 12th man, an Australian comedy on cricket. Interesting.

You can't knock 'The Castle', one of the funniest movies I've seen. Bar maybe Withnail and I

Eric Bana was quite a good comedian before he went into dramatic acting. All of his characters on Full Frontal were hilarious, his stand-up comedy wasn't bad either. He had his own show for a while, called "Bana" which didnt really work, but we cant all be Dave Letterman.

As for the funniest person in Australia, I dont really know of anyone who is head and shoulders above the rest. We dont have any Billy Connollys.

Crackerjack is the best Aussie comedy written though.

I liked the Paul Hogan Show when I was little.

Sorry to say this, but I thought Steve Irwin was really funny.

John Howard cracks me up.

Is he ever actually in Australia?

Dunno, but I take it he is still an Aussie citizen????

Andrew Denton is probably the funniet person in Australia.

He doesn't do much comedy these days though, prefering to concentrate on his more serious interview show.

Australia did once have someone who was head and shoulders above the rest. It was Graham Kennedy then daylight.

Cheers.

That wasn't the question though.
Please read the question properly.

Not only is Andrew Denton the funniet man in Australia, he's also the funniest.

Stupid edit function.

Well why dont you ask him then?

I think Rolf Harris was last spotted in Australia 15 years ago on Andrew Denton's show doing a cover of 'Stairway to Heaven' on the wobble board.

I must say, that is one of the funniest things I think I've ever seen.

Cheers.

Billy Birmingham is the 12th man and he's a funny fellow.

Hey look Richie, Puma pants.

Alan Jones.

Or if you mean funny as in ha ha ha, John Clarke.

Ross (?) - a frequent guest on Spicks and Specks - is up there.

Grahame Bond. Gary McDonald, when he's not in deep depression.

Ross ? There can't be many of them to choose from in Aus, surely?
