Father and Daughter

Peter Rowsthorn is a well-loved Australian comedy icon and character actor, best known as long-suffering husband and pants-man Brett Craig on Kath & Kim.

Peter has appeared regularly on Thank God You’re Here, Talkin’ ‘Bout Your Generation and hosted Can We Help. He has had roles in Open Slather, Underbelly: Squizzy, It’s A Date, and Timothy. In 2018, Peter braved the jungle on I’m A Celebrity…Get Me Out of Here!.

Peter is a natural on stage, having performed in several productions. His film credits include Kath & Kimderella, Crackers, Paper Planes, Looking For Grace, I Met a Girl, and the feature film Three Summers.

Peter will be racing alongside his daughter Frankie Rowsthorn, who is known to be embarrassed by her dad’s farts and annoyed by his backstreet driving and making up silly songs about everything. But rest assured, when Dad jokes aren’t funny anymore, Frankie is here to step in!

Like most teenagers, Frankie Rowsthorn loved to spend weekends holed up in her bedroom scrolling through scores of YouTube videos looking for a quick entertainment fix. But when the site recommended sketches by Saturday Night Live, an obsession for the US program inspired the then 13-year-old to start writing her own jokes.

It wasn’t until she was 16-years-old that she performed her set for the first time at a pub in Fremantle, thanks largely to the pestering of her father.

Since then, Frankie’s been forging her own path and is now established as a regular fixture on Triple J radio and the national comedy circuit, most recently opening for comedy heavy hitters Joel Creasey, Rhys Nicholson and Becky Lucas.
