IT'S easy to like comedian Wil Anderson.

He oozes charm, charisma and personality, and unleashes his broad comedic range in his sell-out, rip-roaring show Man Vs. Wil.

Anderson directs his razor-sharp wit, rapid-fire comedic delivery, keen intellect, and microscope-like powers of observation at a range of everyday subjects: the painfully and hilariously acute differences between American and Australian waiters' service standards (guess who's second best?); various types of addiction (real or imaginary, including to shopping); masturbation; religion; heterosexuality; and homosexuality.

Highlights include Anderson's revelation of a lifelong fear of horses, and what not to do after you ride a horse for the first time.

Another winner is his tale of morning visits to a US Starbucks to be ogled by gay men so he could feel better.
