Kel's yarns and comedy are from the bush and outback of Australia and are all very nearly true. He can almost vouch for them! His performance is best suited to conferences, conventions or wherever mature audiences gather and are in need of a good belly laugh. He doesn't swear, won't offend and always tells the truth! Very nearly. Honestly, you can take him home to meet Mum.
