one of sandy's monologues was part of the recording "a nice night's entertainment", which was particularly enjoyed by humphries' friend, peter cook. humphries is still writing monologues for sandy stone "australia’s most boring man". he said in 2016 that "slowly the character has deepened, so i begin to understand and appreciate him, and finally feel myself turning into him". he no longer requires makeup for the part, and plays sandy in his own dressing gown.
