The Gorskys

The Gorskys are an Australian comedy team. They have performed on stage, radio, television and the internet. They are also the creators of GORSKYS.COMedy, one of the world's longest-running comedy websites (started in 1995).

Originally known as the Toasted Marshmallows (from 1992–1997), the Gorskys have been performing since the founding members met at Monash University (Clayton) whilst performing in the Monash Players annual comedy review "Slimy Crappy People".

The original members were Liam Cody, Chris Tomkins, Jo Stanley and Samantha Stone.

Stone left in 1994 and was replaced by Barbara Joseph. Joseph left a year later.

Jo Stanley stopped performing with the Gorskys in 1999 when she began on Melbourne radio network, Fox FM.

Liam Cody died after a long battle with cancer on 28 August 2007.

Chris Tomkins continues publishing the GORSKYS.COMedy website.

The Gorskys wrote and performed sketches for independent radio, Melbourne's PBS-FM from 1993-95. They went on to write and perform sketches for ABC radio including a short series entitled "Taxi" in which the regular taxi driver characters would pick up and have a discussion with a bizarre passenger each episode.

GORSKYS.COMedy (born 1995)
In an effort to "make the internet funny", The Gorskys began their own website in 1995 on which they re-published numerous articles written previously for street press and other publications, and made available video and audio grabs from the sketches they had produced for radio and television. It also includes a "celebrity photos" section, in which Liam, Jo and Chris are pictured "photoshopped" into photos with celebrities.

In 2007 GORSKYS.COMedy had over 500 articles and received on average 500,000 visitors per month. [1]

Cheat Sheet (1999–2001)
