Best known for his character Brett in Kath and Kim, there is so much more to Perth’s own Peter Rowsthorn.

Peter spoke with 6PR’s Chrissy Morrissy about his life and his love of entertaining.

“I had a pretty volatile father, and to cut the tension, I think I used humour just to try and ease things in the house. Over time, I became good at reading moods and rooms,” he said.
