After several years of practising law, Shaun
Micallef threw it all away for a life in comedy and
television. Since ’94 he has graced Aussie screens in shows such
as Full Frontal, Sea Change, the short-loved but
brilliant Micallef Tonight and the immensely
popular Talkin’ ’Bout Your Generation – to name but a
few. He has been nominated for a number of AFI, Logie, AACTA,
Auggie and Director’s Guild awards and even won some of them. He
enjoys wind farming and has written six books. Oh yes, and he also
does a show called Shaun Micallef’s Mad as Hell.
Gary McCaffrie turned his back on a career editing
Industrial Commission transcripts in Tasmania to try writing comedy
for television. He has tried writing it for Fast
Forward, Full Frontal, Jimeoin, The Micallef
P(r))ogram(me), Micallef Tonight and Shaun
Micallef’s Mad As Hell, along with several other less revered shows
that IMDb insists on listing. He is the only TV comedy writer to be
a gold member of the West Adelaide Football Club, and still feels
the pull of the Tasmanian public service.
