The Chaser team has grown up, but that doesn’t mean they can’t get together for one final laugh.

The original team of seven comedians is reuniting for the first time in over a decade to launch the 100th and final edition of The Chaser newspaper, their satirical take on world events, via a live show.

The team – consisting of Julian Morrow, Dominic Knight, Craig Reucassel, Charles Firth, Chris Taylor, Chas Licciardello, and Andrew Hansen – will get together for the performance/Q&A event, themed as “The Museum of Chaser”, at the National Art School’s Cell Block Theatre in Darlinghurst on Thursday to launch the newspaper’s final edition.

The Chaser first hit the shelves in May 1999 as an eight-edition newspaper and its success spawned an ABC comedy series whose pranks made headlines, including the breach of the not-so-high-security 2007 APEC Summit in Sydney. The car, security passes, and even the same driver the crew famously used to infiltrate the security perimeter will be inducted to the Museum of Chaser on Thursday.

The man leading the reboot, Charles Firth, has worked through the night with the team to pull the event together.

But revisiting the past – a very different past – can be a tumultuous experience.

“Looking back, there were so many gags where you go, ‘Oh, you wouldn’t tell that today, that’s very edgy’,” he reflects.

“The thing that we really did have a sort of reckless approach to was death,” Firth says of jokes about murder, among other things. “It was a very youthful approach.”
