Australian is a spoken word piece written by comedian Billy Birmingham which sold more than two hundred thousand copies, went double platinum and still holds the record for the highest-selling Australian single ever.

The improvisation master has a plethora of ARIA award nominations and took home the trophy for Outstanding Achievement at the 1984 Countdown Awards.

He won Best Actor at the 1998 Tropicana Film Festival for the film 'Intolerance' and won the Golden Bagel Award for the same film in 1999 at the Jewish Movie Challenge.

Since "Australiana", he has performed over 10,000 shows, and produced films, documentaries and records, mostly dealing with social issues

Tayshus said he initially wanted to be an actor, but it was "pretty obvious" to him that he was hilarious from a young age.

Now he's a "Full-time provocative satirical improviser", making his jokes up quite literally as he goes.

"I get a sense of what the crowd reacts to and go from there," he said.

The dark glasses wearing joker said the key to being a good comedian is having natural talent and the ability to be able to improvise.

"I think I'm funny on stage and off stage," he said

"I don't have a wife anymore, which is great too," he added.

However when asked if he would like the single women of Dubbo to attend his show he said, "hopefully not."

Despite being born in New York, Tayshus was raised in Sydney, and later followed his parent's lead and also raised his two daughters in Sydney.
