Summary: Peter Berner is an Australian comedian, television and radio presenter and artist.

He made the move into television hosting with his own political satire show, BackBerner on the ABC and then the quiz show, The Einstein Factor. In 2007 Peter transitioned to radio as one of the hosts of The Cage alongside Brigitte Duclos, James Brayshaw, Matt Parkinson and Mike Fitzpatrick.
