“Oh man, what a character.” – Ancient Australian proverb.
Idiom, used to describe either the best or worst person you know.
Example, “Wow, that Casey Filips is such a character”.

Following his critically-acclaimed debut show Virtuoso, award-winning character comic Casey Filips brings his brand-new hour of comedic characters, sketches and “loveable buffoonery” (Lillithia Reviews) to the 2026 Melbourne International Comedy Festival.

It won’t be stand-up, but you will be marvelling “oh man, what a character”.
