DICKIE KNEE

Dickie Knee is the best known a head on a stick in Australia, was created by John over 20 years ago and developed a cult following on the Nine Network Australia's extremely successful and longest running weekly variety show - Hey Hey It's Saturday

Dickie's character has been described as cheeky, sexist, impertinent, irritating, tacky and annoying - but above all, loveable
Dickie has charmed audiences, advertisers and consumers throughout Australia with his anarchistic demeanor and has created a style of humour (with a little help from Blackers) that is unique to Australian television

CORPORATE GOLF DAYS

John Blackman & Wilbur Wilde are probably best known for being an integral part of Australia's longest running variety show Hey Hey It's Saturday.

But did you know both are total golf nuts and have enjoyed great success hosting hundreds of Corporate Golf Days and Pro Ams around Australia?

Their fee includes pre-game mingling, wise-cracking their way around the course with the group of your choice or playing through the field with a different four on each hole.

At the end of the round, your clients then enjoy a highly amusing, user-friendly post game dinner presentation that will be remembered for many years to come.

Take advantage of John & Wilbur's national profile and give your next Corporate Golf Day or Convention that individual edge!
