Pete Helliar

An International Kerfuffle

What happens when a well-meaning comedian makes a cheeky joke about ISIS… during a live interview with Tim Cahill… on national TV… right before a World Cup qualifier against Honduras?

A full-blown international incident, apparently.

In this hilariously outrageous true story, Pete Helliar finds himself at the centre of a media firestorm after a throwaway line on The Project goes global.

It’s a wild, hilarious deep dive into intent, outrage and the terrifying power of a one well-timed punchline. Was Pete off side – or just ahead of the game?
