Rodney Rude's cartoon likeness

Rodney Rude (born Rodney Keft in Bathurst) is an Australian 'blue' stand-up comedian, poet and writer. He is infamous for his bawdy humour. He has released 12 albums and 4 videos throughout his long career. The latest and final, Frogsack, was released in 2006.

He began his career in a band, singing and playing guitar, before his habit of altering the lyrics to amuse himself saw him become a comedian. In 1969, he left Australia to tour the United States and Canada. He returned in 1981, after being asked by his friend Barry Wain, to found the Comedy Store in Sydney. He was its first compere.

He was arrested by Queensland police in the mid-1980's after offending officers during a show in the state. His shows have been subdued north of the border as a result. The album Not Guilty was a result of this incident.

According to his website, rude.com.au, his absence from the comedy circuit in 2004 was due to his recovery from a motorcycle accident.

Rodney is currently touring Australia for the last time. A CD & DVD will accompany the tour, due for release in late 2006 under the title "Frog Sack".

His Comedy

Rodney Rude's comedy is sexual, insulting and explicit. As a result, despite some early media appearances his act is restricted to live performances.

He is known for his trademark laugh.

He also known for very dirty limericks as well, often hidden as rap songs as well as other original songs written and performed by rodney at numerus live shows, I hate cats, i may not be a wog but i look like one, dear p**is, Rubber V**ina, well hung plough boy and many more..

On his more recent recordings, he has included free answering machine messages for personal use, in much the same vein as his comedy.

His comedy often references his grandfather as one of his influences, as well as a close personal friend, Big Nuts Nudge.

One of his famous lines was "last time i was here, i was raped. Three big fat lezzos got down and flogged me with a hunk of bong hose. Thats why i came back"

His Personal Life

He is married to wife Pat, with children, and lives on a property in the Illawarra region. He is a member of ARIA, through his company, Kermelda Entertainment.
