So that's where Australian 'funny' went...

Oddball, strange humour is oddly clever and strangely endearing. No toilet, low-brow humour here (with the exception of a vomit-Matrix gag, which he was clearly embarrased by and which he asked the audience not to applaude; they did anyway) just clever, clean, odd fun. It's also very, very funny. Micallef Tonight deserves a lot more attention then Micallef Tonight gets. 

"If you're like me, then it's probable your a clone with my exact same DNA."

"Worried about dry skin? Concerned about wrinkles? Well, visit a burns unit and get some perspective"

"If you want to get Donald Bradman's hat back in Australia, send money to this address. OR if you want the hat to stay where it is, send your money to this address, and we'll give the money to World Vision" (to people who actually need it;  this wasn't said, but it was implied)

To embarassed guests- "Yes, well, a good story, and well told!"
