Crimson Goat Comedy Presents: Charlie Pickering and Friends

Charlie Pickering is a law graduate who decided the best use of his degree was to avoid it entirely. Political junkie, stand-up comedian, and reluctant television host, his only real career requirement is that his name appear in the show title. 

Before television, Charlie spent a decade touring internationally as a stand-up, picking up Best Newcomer nods at Edinburgh and Melbourne, plus a slot at Montreal's Just for Laughs.

He was a founding host of The Project in 2009, helping reshape how Australians consume the news.

In 2015 he launched The Weekly with Charlie Pickering on ABC, through his production company Thinkative Television, followed by The Yearly (since 2015) and the ABC's New Year's Eve coverage (since 2017).

 He currently hosts ABC Drive in Melbourne and can also be heard talking (American) football on the podcast Any Given Sunday Australia.

Also featuring Tom Siegert (also The Surburban Footballer). Tom Siegert burst onto the comedy scene in the mid 2000's when, in only his second year performing, he represented Victoria in the national final of FHM's Australia's Funniest Man Competition.

The MC, Bradford Oakes (Brad, Oakesy), is a stand-up comedian of over 37 years professional experience. He has headlined and Emceed at every major stand-up venue in Australia.
