Benito Di Fonzo

Benito is a journalist, playwright, puppeteer, poet, pauper, pirate, pope, pawn and a king. He's been up and down and over and out, but he knows one thing, each time he finds himself flat on his face he just picks himself up and gets back in the race, because that's life. Benito has written for, and been profiled by, some of the finest, and lowest, publications, including The Sydney Morning Herald, The Australian, and Bardlfy Magazine, of which he was the editor, and possibly the only reader. Benito has performed his poems, tragicomic travelogues and self-deprecatory diatribes in theatres, bars, pubs, parks and piazzas in London, Edinburgh, Sydney, Melbourne, Rome, Adelaide, Perth, Byron (NSW) and Ubud (Indonesia). Several of Benito's plays have been performed at The Sydney Opera House, which is that big place on the harbour with the wings, so there. His favourite colour is irrelevant.
