Austentatious

Posted by: Fisbey on 08 November 2005

Is anyone familiar with an Australian comedy duo (I think) called Austentatious? - I heard them a few years back, but can find no trace of them.

It sounds like you're thinking of Austen Tayshus - he's a solo act, and he released a comedy single called "Australiana" in the early eighties I think.

A very funny but somewhat intimidating comedian.

Yes that was probably him! - he did a sketch thingy on the rolling stones which was hilarious - where could I find any of his stuff?

Why oh why did the car maker Austin never make an upmarket car called the 'Tayshus'.

It would have sold a bomb.

Not sure, but I can only play region 2 DVD's - so I'm probably knackered.....

I have a copy of Australiana in my collection.

Outrageous on the second side it's from a live gig. on being heckled, his riposte is "if you don't shut up, I'm gonna come down there and fuck you. Probably be the only clap I get all night."

priceless. What did you expect from Oz comedy - subtlety? Cool

Same reason Kate Moss' parents never had a son named "Pete"... simple poor judgement.
