Olaf Falafel Author Event
September 15 @ 1:30 pm - 2:30 pm
About Olaf Falafel
Olaf Falafel is an author, illustrator and a stand-up comedian (which is pretty similar to a stand-up chameleon except he doesn’t change colour to blend in with the background). He’s the winner of The Funniest Joke of the Edinburgh Fringe and has created and performed several stupidly named comedy shows including Olaf Falafel and the Cheese Of Truth. As well as trying to make people laugh on stage, Olaf draws a lot and tries to come up with funny ideas for kids books. He also has an Art Club on Youtube full of real drawing tips and facts about famous artists. In 2019 Olaf visited 100 schools in 100 days – and then put his feet up and had a cup of tea.

About the Book
Book title: Far Out Five: Portal Loo Panic
The Far-Out Five!
A madcap team of adventurers, lost far from home without the magical wand that could change them back into a normal group of kids and one grumpy amateur magician…
Spewnicorn, a punk unicorn who vomits rainbows
Wally, a pompous and cowardly koala
Tubbs, a walking bathtub
Bloof, a blue-footed booby and
Glossy Jeff, a really chilled-out seal
Together they must sail the oceans and face bizarre creatures, weird islands and mysterious tasks on their quest to find Wally’s missing wand and get back home.
Now they face an island with a lot of Portal Loos – mobile toilets that are gateways to different interconnected dimensions – obviously! With a rampaging evil impala on the loose, they must hop from world to world with only the navigational whelks to help them find the way our of this multi-dimensional whirlwind. Will they ever escape? Will Wally ever manage to have a wee?
