It's not easy being Australian. Men who like cats, drinking warm beer and anyone who refuses to eat lamb or support Lleyton Hewitt are un-Australian. In 2007 the Aussie flag was banned at the Big Day Out and we said a sad goodbye to the Mexican wave at the cricket. Melbourne based Comedian Matthew Hardy decided to take this situation by the scruff of the neck and ask himself: "How Australian am I, and why?". Recently seen on Spicks & Specks, Matthew Hardy is the author of bestselling novel Saturday Afternoon Fever and is currently writing his second book and first screenplay. He has co-hosted the drive shift on sports radio station SEN 116, with Dermott Brereton & Anthony Hudson, then hosted his own show between 6-7pm on NOVA 100 during the 2006 Commonwealth Games. He sold out both his 2006 Melbourne International Comedy festival show series, titled 'Saturday Afternoon Fever', and his 2005 show series 'Willy Wonka Explained: The Veruca Salt Sessions'.
