Andrew Hansen and Chris Taylor: In Conversation with Lionel Corn
Everything that's wrong with celebrity author Q&As is so right in this send-up.
Overview
Thundering into town upon the back of his immense triumphs in literature, and now the world of cult television, Lionel Corn is the kind of author who draws focus with the slightest adjustment of his seating position. It's no wonder that academics, writers manqué and pedantic fans alike want to limply dab him to death with inane questions whenever he speaks publicly.
Following a successful stint at the Melbourne International Comedy Festival and Sydney Writers' Festival, The Chaser's Andrew Hansen and Chris Taylor bring the portly form of Corn to the Giant Dwarf. Hansen and Taylor's George RR Martin-like figure is the centre of a show that pokes fun at the rise in 'In Conversation'-type events, of which you'll find no shortage around town.
