He's the resident panel operator and white-anter of the Get This team. Let's see what our dirt unit has dug up on the man who goes by many names, one of them being Richard 'F****ing' Marsland.

But before you do, click here to see Richard's open letter to us in the Get This army...

The Get This Biography:

"Thanks for clicking to find out more about the fifthest-wheel of Get This, Richard Marsland! Sure, Marsland seems to be a deft hand at hand braking the rhythm of Talkback Mountain with his interminable, but erotically charged, stories of teenage life on the dusty plains of South Australia's mid-north, but what of the man behind the fireball? What of, indeed?

First performing on stage in 1995 at the Espy's legendary Sunday afternoon stand-up comedy thing, Marsland instinctively knew this was the life for him. In his second performance he and the audience came to an agreement that his first instinct was frigging wrong.
Nevertheless, Marsland stuck at it, forging quite the cult following with his pre-recorded automated mid-dawn shifts on Adelaide radio. Sure, he couldn't tell you the exact time, but damn it all, he had a good crack at guessing the current temp.

He stuck at the stand-up, and some 10 years later has a fairly decent four minutes of tight material. He tells us he has at least enough for a flyer for next year's festival. Jumping from radio crag to crag, from The Shebang to Tough Love to The Late Date Show, Marsland hasn't been content with tainting just one medium with his special brand of poisoned chalice. His now-defunct weekly column in Adelaide's Sunday Mail failed in his attempt to stick it to The Man and sidekickin' it to Anne Wills on a Channel 7 South Australian morning shill-fest (the bafflingly-titled AM Adelaide) only resulted in the notorious 'Kegels for Comments' scandal.
As well as writing every single word that is spoken on Rove McManus's show Rove (with Rove McManus), Marsland has also managed to sneak his bonce into the frame now and again. Perhaps you've seen him buttress up a sketch or two, but probably not that much lately, even though he'd love to do more. He doesn't know why. He just wanted to put that out there is all. The thing is you've got to be asked. Just saying.

And like that creepy kid in those Animalia books, Marsland has delighted in appearing in cameo mode in the odd TV show or movie, such as BoyTown, or. . .no, that's about it.

Although courageous in the face of certain tragedy, Marsland sadly died on board his research vessel, the HMS Cosgrove, amidst squally conditions in March of 1984."
