Peter Helliar is an Australian comedian, actor, writer, producer, director, television and radio presenter. So there’s pretty much nothing in showbiz he can’t do.

His first crack at high-profile television was as a part of the cast of Rove Live where he worked with people who’ve gone on to become some of the most well-known names in television including Meshel Laurie, Dave Hughes, Carrie Bickmore and Hamish & Andy.

He’s currently the funny guy on The Project, creator of the sit-com How To Stay Married and author of the Frankie Fish children’s book series.

In this episode, Peter Helliar talks about the benefit of having an ideas tap that doesn't turn off, how UDL cans can mend a broken heart, the difficulties of fame and how a decision by Rove to turn down a million dollars at the age of 23 changed his life forever.
