BeWILdered | Wil Anderson Print
Wil Andersoni) completely puzzled or confused; perplexed
ii) a brand-new hour of passionate, rapid-fire stand-up about truth and lies from Australia’s most prolific comedian.

Australia’s most passionate and prolific comedian is back at the Sydney Opera House for four weeks this March, premiering his brand-new show BeWILdered. In June last year Wil comprehensively sold out his season of the critically acclaimed Wil of God at the Opera House.

“the rock star of Australian comedy… Highly recommended.” The Age (2007)

“funnier and edgier than ever...unconventional and hard-hitting, if you only see
one comedy show this year, this has got to be it” Courier Mail (2007)

Wil is rare in the world of stand-up comedy in that year after year his shows keep getting sharper, edgier and most importantly - funnier (well, either that or it’s taken him a really long time to work out what he’s doing).

In 2006 he performed his show Wil Communication to over 40,000 people in Australia, Montreal and Edinburgh where the critics had this to say: "Like Adam Hills on speed, Australian comedian Wil Anderson’s new show is brilliant... an hour in his company flies by all too quickly." The Stage. (UK)

"What a funny Aussie... there is enough material here to fill two hours, making the one he has sprint by. A higher laugh-per-minute rate than anyone I've seen before...'Ando' is a comic gem." Three Weeks (UK)

Wil has also earned a Perrier Best Newcomer nomination in Edinburgh and appeared on the prestigious Montreal Just For Laughs gala three times. You might know him as "the bloke who sat in the middle" on the ABC's AFI-Award winning The Glass House or "the one who didn't know anything about maths" on the much loved Triple J Breakfast show.

He is also author of the book ‘Survival Of The Dumbest’ which has the proud honour of "being over 250 pages long without photos" and the host of the Wil and Lehmo Show weekdays on Triple M, which critics have referred to as being “on at the same time as Hamish and Andy.”
