He’s been often cited as the ‘nice guy’ of entertainment in the United States, but multi Emmy award winning Wayne Brady will have you gagging for laughter as he Makes S%!t Up from May 2nd as part of the NZ International Comedy Festival.

The star of Whose Line Is It Anyway and Don’t Forget The Lyrics is well known for his improvisational genius, unique musical talents and limitless impersonation skills. An extremely versatile entertainer, Brady’s show is structured in classic old-time Variety style, incorporating improv, singing and even dancing.

Brady’s appeal is far reaching – from stage and screen to music and television. A three time Emmy award winner, talk show host, musician and actor, it was his works on Whose Line Is It Anyway that brought the lovable and playful Florida native to everyone’s attention.

From that, the offers started flooding in – hosting talk show The Wayne Brady Show, taking to the stage in the Broadway production of Chicago as slick lawyer Billy Flynn, working alongside the likes of Drew Carey in The Drew Carey Show, Tina Fey in 30 Rock and Chris Rock in Everybody Hates Chris.

Brady still found the time to pursue just one of the many strings to his bow – last year, he released his debut R&B album, the suitably named A Long Time Coming. Brady continues to combine his passion for music and television as the current host of Don’t Forget The Lyrics.

He’s also remembered for putting his squeaky-clean image aside from one moment during an episode of Chappelle’s Show, the hit Comedy Central series and uttering the immortal line “Is Wayne Brady going to have to choke a b****?”

Thankfully, the only choking will be from the laughter you can expect from someone who is essentially “the whole darn package.” So why miss out?

I made the most funniest s%!t up when i was at my last job to get off work early as i didn't feel like working that particular day. I told my boss that i got a urgent call from my wife & that i had to leave straight away. He asked me why & then i told him that my wife got her period at work & that i had to go buy her some tampons asap & take them to her lol. Indeed that excuse worked like a charm & i got the day off & went home & slept. On top of that, my wife didn't even know haha!

When i was around 8 or so, i made up a lie that i knew all the members of "whose line is it anyway" personally, and i told all my friends that i see them all the time, i also told them i taught wayne all his dance moves, i thought i had them all fooled, until the day of the school disco, where i looked like a chicken having a seizure >.<

Scared the day-lights out of my little brothers when I told stories about aliens, ghosts, and 'the angel of death'. They had nightmares for years. I had to try to make everything better by telling stories about Barney the dinosaur and all the warm fuzzy things he sees on his journey. This just made things worse...

When I was a kid, I gave the girl next door a biscuit and told her that they were special ones that my Mum had just made. I lied. I made that S%!T up. They were in fact our dog's Tux biscuits. It was funny then. I'm not so proud of that now...in fact, I need to go see Wayne Brady to cheer me up after dragging up that little guilty memory!! Ha!

When my friend and I were on our (rather extended) OE we made up our own language which was a bastardised version of all the languages we had learned 'some' of - Japanese, German, French, Turkish and Spanish! We made a lot of S%!T up...we thought we were hilarious...xx

I am yet another secret love child of that dirty rascal Mick Jagger, but I like to keep it quite so as not to upset the Dad who brought me up. You might know him - Sam Neil. We have so much fun on at the vineyard and I love to visit him overseas, especially when he lets me visit him on the set. Gosh I have meet some handsome actors that way and let just say that just a whole other salacious story.

I never make s*&% up, you don't have to when you've done unbelievable stuff like... well there was once when I married a princess & became the youngest king... but I gave that all up to pursue my dream of becoming an astronaut & guess who'll be flying the next mission to the moon!

I've always said my great great (and great?) grandfather was the last pirate to be hung in England. It's a tale told to me when I was a wee lad by my grandfather. I neglected to ask whether it was true all these years, and then he died.
He had also said we were runaway German Jews who took the name Benson in the 19th century to appear more financially grounded, but that's even more uncertain.
It must of had some effect on me though as I'm also saying 'Aaaarr Vey'!

I've been known for my asthma attacks. The real one that is. But I have to confess that I made up some asthma attacks to get exempted from classes, exams, military training and other activities I'm too lazy to be bothered. Thank God for giving me asthma!

As a child I told my brother he was the Tonka Truck kid in the ads but Mum and Dad spent his cheque on a house extension, which he believed. Then to combat the fact that I disliked marmite, even the msell of it made me sick but my mother refused to stop buying it while my siblings still enjoyed it, I told them both that to make the sticky black texture the makers used spiders legs. They bought it and both refused to touch the stuff ever again.
At High school, thrid form economics we were asked to list what our parents did for a living - so I told them that Dad was a male stripper. The teacher was flabbergasted, she kept asking "you mean like a paint stripper don't you?" and I'll always say "No - like a chippendale striiper"

My wife was told at a very young age that she was adopted. She truely used to beleive that the Queen was her mother and would one day come and get her. She also went to the doctor (again as a very young child) and told him that she was a DOCTOR too! She meant adopted.

Getting back to the work force, I really wanted this part-time job, I knocked 4 years off my age & dropped 2 children - told them 2 as I thought they won't want a mum with 4 children, (I might be needing days off with 1 or other sick). Incidently I got the job, eventually going full-time & worked in various branches for 15 years.
As time went by no one ever asked me about the additions to my family!!!

Not forgetting the 2 asian girls in Alice springs that asked for a photo , and I told them.... Hey do the photo wave. They looked confused , so I explained... "you can't wave because it will blur on a photo... so you put your middle finger up on both hands...THATS the photo wave...." so there are 2 asians who 10 years ago made their way round OZ taking photos of themselves "flicking the bird" and sending them home to granny. GOD I"M EVIL. I blame Sean Connery!

Then There was the time when myself and David O Doherty hired 2 Digeridoos in Rosies backpackers in Cairns having never put one of these to our mouths before and within 10 minutes were approached by two Asian guys wanting to learn from experts as ourselves.
10 minutes and 6 beers later we were charging for lessons. To be able to play "our way", Hell I have loads of these ... I should copyright...:O). If you come accross a drunk Asian tring to play "Dancing Queen" (because it's ABBA riginal!!!!!!) I'm responsible

My dad was in the finals when they were picking James Bond. It was him and Sean Connery to thewire. My dad lost the part because he didn't have enough hairs on his chest. 100% TRUE! My dad told me that when I was 7 ....and I told everyone in school. ................and they unfortunately.........still remember.

I always thought that the women on the Titanic should have had inflatable bras (a bit like modern inflatable lifejackets), then all they had to do when they jumped over the side was pull the cord and the bra would inflate to the size of a small bean bag which the other passengers could then hang on to. Then when one of the males who was wearing a minature portable jet ski engine that was attached to his belt, attached the engine to the bra it would become a type of powered life craft. Fantastic for those who don't like to wear life jackets. The survivors could have grabbed onto the womans chest and have been speed off to safety. Off Course if Inflatable socks and underpants had been around, many more could have been saved.

About 6 years ago, I went along to one of first speed dating events ever. After about the 3rd guy I talked to I was bored having to repeat the same old boring story about myself and my work so I decided to entertain myself by flexing my improv skills. There was nothing to lose as I was shifting to NZ from the USA in a month. I went on to weave a story about being a Medical Examiner for the Los Angeles Police Department. The men ate it up! I had some men coming up to me later after the event wanting to know more about my "profession"....and I succeeded by making up as much as I could from what was in my head from watching CSI and other crime shows. A fun night was had by all!

When I first met a friend of my hubbys, we convinced him I was really a blonde, and that I dyed my hair (which is a very very dark brown). This is a grown man, and he believed me for many years, man did he feel stupid when we finally told him about ten years later!

When I was 12 I went to a sheep sharing show in Rotorua, I got picked to be one of the people that feed the lambs, except I didn't know that. The man that was running the show said 1, 2, 3 DRINK!!
Without knowing that lambs were about to run infront of me I started downing a bottle of lambs milk when I saw the lamb infront of me and an audience of about 100 people. after the show, everyone said how dumb can you be! I thought I might just tell them that the audience looked bored and I wanted to add a bit of comedy!

Whenever my wife needed to go for a job interview she said that her grandfather died. The strange thing is that he died 3 times.
