Roy & HG are a noted
Australian comedy duo, with
Greig Pickhaver, former
Flinders University student politician, taking the role of HG Nelson and
John Doyle as "Rampaging" Roy Slaven. Their act is an affectionate but irreverent parody of Australia's obsession with sport. Their characters based on archetypes in sports journalism: Nelson the exciteable announcer, Slaven the retired sportsman turned expert commentator. In his 1996 book Petrol, Bait, Ammo & Ice, Nelson (aka Pickhaver) summarised the duo's comedic style as "making the serious trivial and the trivial serious".
