Harley delivers his bizarre and absurd takes on the world, captivating his audience with unmarked ideas and surreal images in a mission to unravel rigid beliefs and preset assumptions that mostly subside cunningly deep within institutions and establishments (what the hell does that mean?).

Hey Harley, I saw you at the Spleen Bar last monday night and just thought I'd let you know that I laughed so hard at the bit you did about the mechanic that it still kind of hurts to walk. Nice one, it was great.
Welcome to 2009 (abit belated). What lays in store? Flying Cars, monkey butlers, jet packs, advance sexy robotic maids? Well sadly none of that (sexy robo maids are still in their infancy), what we do have is a new episode of the rogues gallery! Jacky and Richy return for your listening pleasure to talk about the usual crap; including worst jobs in the world, life according to a Dungeons and Dragons fanatic and the Inaugural Brisbane Comedy festival.
Anyway promises to be fun. So visit us and spread the mirth!
Catchya later,
Richy The Rogues Gallery, QLD
P.S Love to get you in our club sometime, our people will call your people then have short term relationship and then our people will cheat on your people and then everytime they'll meet everything will be awkward. In short we'll get on to you. :)
Just dropping by to give a heads up that Ep 5 of the Rogues Gallery is up. If you hated waiting for forever and day to download the podcast, you can now stream it live directly via our myspace. Just go to our myspace to listen to a new podcast each week. Listen in during the Christmas break for our special Adelaide show with Jason Chong, Gordon Southern (UK) and other comedy delights.
Before I forget, are the shows at Dockside Comedy Bar and Albion Comedy Club 18+? There seems to be some pretty neat stuff on around there but I wouldn't have a clue if they're 18+ or all ages. (Guessing 18+)
Saw you last Sunday at Livewired at the Powerhouse; thought you were hilarious (which is always a good thing)!
Was going to ask for a photo, as you were walking infront of a friend and I when we were leaving the venue, but I was in a rush to get to the ferry. I got owned by the storm; good fun in a thin cotton dress going see-through.
This is Richy here from the Rogues Gallery. Just thought I should give you a heads up that Episode 1-4 are now up on the myspace. Enjoy them all in their lackluster glory. Hopefully like a fine wine it will be matured, have character and all traces of poo jokes eliminated.
Check by our myspace this Monday coming when we have Tripod on for a special Rogues Gallery podcast.
