After finding out his terminal illness isn’t all that terminal anymore…. He’s got a lot more time to think of everything he’s scared of… and the list is long!
“Paveys standup delicately weaves elements of darkness and light, moving the audience to the brink of tears, before landing a hefty punchline that leaves them in (metaphorical) stitches.” - The Age

What happens when a well-meaning comedian makes a cheeky joke about ISIS… during a live interview with Tim Cahill… on national TV… right before a World Cup qualifier against Honduras?
A full-blown international incident, apparently.
In this hilariously outrageous true story, Pete Helliar finds himself at the centre of a media firestorm after a throwaway line on The Project goes global.
It’s a wild, hilarious deep dive into intent, outrage, and the terrifying power of one well-timed punchline. Was Pete off side—or just ahead of the game?
“This is pro-comedy.” ★★★★★ The AU Review
“Peter Helliar makes the difficult business of being funny look dead easy.” Adelaide Advertiser
