Life & Comedy of Graham Kennedy illus. with 24 full page plates

8vo. pp.486 Graham Kennedy, the King of Comedy, reigned over Australian
television for forty years as talk-show host, game-show presenter and
iconoclastic jester. He shared the microphone with Nicky Whitta on
Melbourne s favourite radio program, Nicky and Graham, in the 1950s,
then went on to become the shining light of Australian TV, hosting In
Melbourne Tonight, Blankety Blanks and Coast to Coast. Looking for a
new challenge, Graham Kennedy moved into films and starred in Don s
Party and The Club among others. Graeme Blundell elegantly traces the
career of the star from working-class Melbourne, who tilted Australia s
television to an unforgettable angle with his disrespectful buffoonery,
then mysteriously disappeared into the Southern Highlands of New South
Wales. King is also the story of the styles of comedy that Kennedy drew
on and made his own in front of the TV cameras, and of local television
itself. Prior owner’s name on title page, else fine
