Dan Ilic’s A Rational Fear reaches $50k crowd-funding goal
Comedian Dan Illic has reached his crowd-funding goal of $50,000 to transform his ABC Radio National show A Rational Fear into a digital comedy hub, hitting the target before the end of the campaign.
Ilic, and the A Rational Fear team, set its Pozible campaign target at $50,000 to cover the production costs to create a 10 week season of digital satire, including infographics, articles and videos.
“We try and put facts in our comedy, we try and educate and entertain. We want to get a laugh out of you but we also want to try and make sure it’s all backed up with information. We’re almost journalists if you like, in one respect you could call us investigative humorists,” said Ilic.
The team hit their target on Tuesday and have since made an extra $2,495, with the funding round closing at midnight tonight.
Well done Dan and your team.
A talented comedian who I’ve had the pleasure of working with in the past. These funds are very well deserved an cant wait to enjoy my next 10 weeks of content.
It anyone at Screen Australia had a brain they would be seeking out people like Dan to support, rather than continute to throw endless money at the expert paper pushers who keep bedazzling Australia with lousy content.
Thanks Mum… you didn’t have to spray Screen Australia, they make wonderful things.
