Michael Veitch

From Wikipedia, the free encyclopedia

Michael Veitch (born 29 November 1962) is an Australian comedian and writer best known for his appearances on the sketch comedy television shows The D-Generation, Fast Forward and Full Frontal.

Veitch became an overnight hit on The D-Generation for a sketch in which he morphed into a werewolf. The creature, incidentally resembling Peter Russell-Clarke, uttered with hilarious effect the catchphrase 'Where's the cheese?'

In 2006 he started hosting Sunday Arts on the ABC. Ironically, he parodied a presenter of Sunday Arts during his time on Fast Forward, as well as that role other roles Veitch played included, Sonny (Skippy Send up), Wayne (The Stewards), Redmond Herring (Media personality). Veitch also parodied media personalities, Clive Robertson, Clive James, former NSW Premier Nick Greiner, and was in a 'Tell The Truth Sketch' about the Fitzgerald Inqury in Queensland.

Veitch is the author of Flak - True stories from the men who flew in World War Two published in 2006 by Pan Macmillan.

Veitch has two sons, Wilbur "Wilbini" Veitch and Thomas "Walrus" Veitch.
