The Chaser

Mondays are Formal Dinners. And today, our guest speaker was Chris Taylor. How awesome is that!

Chris Taylor studied Arts at The university of Sydney and had a midnight pony-race at the Quad once. Campus Security got there fast but him and his friends did a runner - and 7 ponies were 'arrested'. True story.
He was a Paul's guy (which is probably why Women's was able to invite him to speak!) and claims to never have 'penetrated into Womens College'. He told us stories about his college days and how people studying media should be welcomed to the world of unemployment.

He did journalism in UTS later on, and worked for ABC as a court reporter in Melbourne. He later moved back to Sydney and started working for The Chaser's Newspaper (which is now dysfunctional)
The Chaser team then started producing Tv shows, including CNNNN as one of Australia's all-time favourites.

Chris Taylor, meanwhile, have also wrote Dead Caesar, a play that ran at Sydney Theatre Company for about a month.


Just some sweet kicks.

Chris Taylor - who probably isn't THAT famous outside of Australia, is awesome! He totally deserved the spooning we gave him today.


And the very famous "The Eulogy Song". Highly controversial, please.
