Charles Firth is, according to Wikipedia, the "greatest genius in the history of humanity". In 1999, he and a group of his friends set up The Chaser – a satirical newspaper and website (www.chaser.com.au). The team has gone on to produce various award winning things in television, radio and print.
His TV credits include The Election Chaser (2001), CNNNN (2002-3), The Chaser Decides (2004) and The Chaser’s War on Everything (2006).
He is the author of thirteen books about himself, including "Me: A Memoir" (unpublished), "Me 2: The Sequel" (unpublished) and "You ain’t seen nothing yet: the best of Charles Firth" (unpublished), as well as numerous Chaser Annuals Annuals (published).
For the past couple of years, Charles has also been a freelance contributor to various magazines, including Cigar Aficionado, Pipe Aficionado, Snuff Aficionado, The Monthly, The Bulletin, GQ Australia, The Nation (Botswana edition) and most proudly, The Australian Worker Magazine.
In 2005, Charles moved to New York City with his wife Amanda, and has recently changed his name to Jihad al-Firth. He is currently working on a project, which he says is "top secret".
Charles is currently writing for the satirical newspaper Manic Times.
Thanks to YouTube's blatant disregard for copyright law, it is possible to share some video clips from the USA that were part of The Chaser's War on Everything (ABC-TV) from 2006. To start off, here is an interview with Fred Phelps Jnr, who is part of the "God Hates Fags" Westboro Baptist Church.
Who I'd like to meet:
Anybody who hated enjoys Charles' work!
The Trailer for American Hoax. Because every good book needs a trailer. Enjoy.
