John How-Odd

John How-Odd
Writing sketch comedy for breakfast radio led to comic Alex Manfrin performing at Perth's comedy club, the Laugh Resort, in the mid-90s.

A short time after this, Alex became aware of a dark desire to wear spectacles and false eyebrows to become his twisted alter-ego known as John How-Odd.

How-Odd moves beyond cheap shots and parody in a clever satirisation of the mindset and values of this former Australian Prime Minister.

After mastering the thrusting lower lip, the yodelling oratory and the stiff movements we know so well, Alex began performing his character in comedy clubs, at corporate functions and in his own show at the 2001 Melbourne International Comedy Festival.

The performance includes John discussing the secret to his long marriage to Janette, tips on how to be more like the former Prime Minister, his love of cricket and a demonstration of how to meditate the John How-Odd way!

Alex can also write material for John to perform especially for your function.
