Charlie Pickering - Stand Up Comedian / Writer / Broadcaster
Ride to Work 2010 Celebrity Ambassador
Edgy, polished and inventive, Charlie Pickering is one of the most exciting names in Australian comedy.
Charlie is a political junkie, former lawyer and the voice of his generation as a regular team captain for Generation X on Network Ten’s quiz show Talkin’ ‘bout Your Generation. He can also be seen there each weeknight on your screens as co-host of The 7PM Project where the days news is dissected, digested and re-constituted by some of Australia’s funniest and smartest.
Charlie has earned many an accolade for his live work over the years, including nominations for the Perrier Best Newcomer Award in Edinburgh and the Barry Award for Most Outstanding Show at the Melbourne International Comedy Festival, as well as being named Best International Guest by the NZ Comedy Guild.
2010 will see Charlie release his first book “Impractical Jokes” based on his 2007 Comedy Festival show.
Charlie has ridden bikes all his life. From the BMX he rode into a tree the first time his training wheels were taken off to the ₤20 bomb that got him through the Edinburgh Fringe Festival in 2007. He now rides to work at The 7pm Project almost every day, come rain hail or shine and thinks that commuting by bike is the best way to incorporate exercise into your life and burning off those extra kilos without taking up your time. More importantly he loves nothing more than taking his single speed for a spin down to the local cafe for breakfast on a weekend.
