The Nester Lou and Slim Knackers Show

FUNNY AS BANDICOOT IN BUSHFIRE

About Me

The NESTER LOU AND SLIM KNACKERS SHOW will rattle your dags and tickle your chookskin. It is a country music experience with more twists and turns than a taxi ride to Sydney Airport. Audiences as diverse as the National Folk Festival (Canberra) to the Port of Bourke Hotel (Bourke) have been in stiches as they sing their collection of self penned country music classics. Raised on a diet of cold mutton sandwiches, black tea and AM radio in the backblocks of Northwest New South Wales, they draw heavily from the rich vein of material that flows from small town Australia and beyond. This is country music comedy at its funniest, cleverly written and performed by two of country music’s biggest liabilities.
