From Wikipedia, the free encyclopedia

Lance Curtis was a popular Australian actor, writer and comedian who became well known in Australia in the early 1980s through his many radio, TV and film appearances. He was best known for his work on Triple J's Off The Record and The J-Team with comedians Angela Webber and Adam Bowen and presenters Jonathan Coleman, Ian Rogerson and Rusty Nails, and for his comic partnership with satirist Geoff Kelso, which included their collaboration on Triple-J's Doctor Who sendup Doctor Poo, which ran from 1979-81[1] (not to be confused with the 1996 Viz comic strip of the same name).

Lance Curtis died in June 1985 as the result of an accidental fall from a balcony, while attending a party in Sydney.[2]
