The Kath and Kim icon on ageing disgracefully and becoming a truckie

Peter Rowsthorn cemented his place as Australian comedy royalty in Kath and Kim, playing the loveable bogan Brett.

From staring in musicals, sitcoms to stand-up and almost swapping it all for a life on the road as a truckie, Peter's career has been anything but boring.

In this chat with Antoinette Lattouf, Peter shares why he’s making a long-awaited comeback to the Melbourne Comedy Festival for the first time since the 80's and the joys of ageing with absolutely no grace whatsoever.
