It's a book. A funny book. A funny book by Tim 'Rosso' Ross.
But what's in this funny book I hear you ask
Well, it's all manner of stories from the life and mind of Tim Ross.
There are warm, fuzzy childhood stories of billycarts and milk bars. There are teenage stories of angst, girls, bad clothes and bad hair. There are student tales of share-house madness and misery. And there are adults tales of living out a rock n' roll dream, doing stand up, being on the telly and entertaining the nation on the radio every morning.
In between all these wonderful tales, there are rants and raves, ideas and fantastical stories. Just stuff really. Wonderful stuff from the mind of Tim 'Rosso' Ross.
This is his book. It's part memoir, part brain dump. And he's written it just for you.
As the 'Rosso part' of comedy act Merrick and Rosso, Tim Ross built up an enormous fan base through sell-out stand-up performances across Australia and a popular stint on Triple J's drive show before making the move to the competitive Sydney FM market as co-host of Nova 96.9's top-rating breakfast show for an astonishing nine years. On TV he has starred in Merrick and Rosso Unplanned (Nine Network), The B-Team (Network Ten) and The Merrick and Rosso Show (Foxtel), and has made countless guest appearances on shows ranging from Are You Smarter Than a 5th Grader to Australian Story. In 2001, Tim wrote the bestselling Merrick and Rosso, The Book Volume Two which has sold over 20,000 copies. He is also a contributor to Men's Style Australia and Shop Til You Drop and was voted by Madison as the best dressed man on TV.
