Olaf Falafel: The Seriously Silly Art of Being Stupid
Description
Olaf Falafel gaslit his own mother into believing she had a serious wind problem using a remote-control fart machine with a subwoofer — and has somehow turned that energy into an award-winning career in children's books and stand-up.
Olaf Falafel is a comedian, illustrator, and author known for his Edinburgh Fringe shows, the Dave Funniest Joke at the Fringe 2019, and children's books including Old MacDonald Heard a Fart, Poo on a Pogo Stick, and the Trixie Pickle Art Avenger series. His new graphic novel The Far Out Five is out now, and his family show — Olaf Falafel's Stupidest Super Stupid Show, is currently on tour.
- Why comedians make better children's authors than celebrities — and why the crossover is more natural than the publishing industry admits
- The origin of Old MacDonald Heard a Fart — how singing it on the school run with his daughters turned into an actual book deal
- How to achieve the perfect duck fart
- Why winning the Dave Funniest Joke at the Fringe brought death threats
- Why Lost is the show he'd erase from history — and the years he spent downloading it on Limewire before the ending stole everything back
- What it means to draw 200-page graphic novels while watching Liam Neeson films as background noise — and why Taken is genuinely one of his favourite movies
