It began on the couch, in front of Q&A on ABCTV, with Lawrence impersonating Malcolm Turnbull, casually berating the other panelists.
On the suggestion of his wife, Lawrence began including the impersonations of Sydney's eastern suburbs Member of Parliament in his stand up shows.

So grew the impersonation that is now fondly thought of by Lawrence as some of his best work.
