It has just been confirmed that Arfer Sinodinos will be one of the top acts at Melbourne's International Comedy Festival which will run to packed houses from March 29-April 23. The incredible comedic skills of Arfer came to the fore during the glum reign of PM John Howard when he was the chief of staff.
Another former Howard chief of staff , now lobbyist and commentator , Grahame Morris , is on record as saying Sinodinos was valued for his ability to spread cheer and defuse tension by coming up with a wry crack that would even make Prime Minister Howard laugh !... Obviously a born comedian .
This capacity to crack a crack explains the hilarious statement by Sinodinos on the ABC Insiders that One Nation is now more sophisticated . It was obviously intended to cause wrinkly Barrie Cassidy to break into hysterical laughter and do an impersonation of limp falling . However, for some unfathomable reason it was taken as a serious statement , repeated over and over by the deeply unhappy Coalition , enthusiastically accepted as gospel, tickety-boo , by the very desperate West Australian Liberals .
Comedy Festival publicity officer , Ned Laughing-Gas, said the Sinodinos brand of political humour is just the thing that the fun deprived , underpaid , baseball bat wielding , nasty public wants today. He predicted Sinodinos would have a bright future as a stand up comedian if he told mother-in-law jokes , revealed how you can miraculously turn water into $3000 bottles of Grange and how to get the fairy godmother to shower you with funny money .
In a subsequent interview on the Insiders, Pauline Hanson indicated a possible name change for One Nation : The Siberian Polio, Whooping Cough , Measles , Mumps , Diphtheria , Meningitis and Sunday Slave Staffed Caviar Club .BREAKING NEWS : A leaked document says Sinodinos will become the Minister for Funny Walks in a new Monty Python / Abbott Government.
