Alter egos

Peter Helliar is renowned for his comedic alter ego, Bryan "Strauchanie" Strauchan, a bogan character from the rural town of Horsham, Victoria, depicted as a deluded, overweight Collingwood Football Club player with an outsized ego and minimal talent. Created in 2004 by Helliar in collaboration with producer Paul Calleja for the AFL preview show Before the Game on Network Ten, the character drew inspiration from Helliar's earlier sketches on Rove Live, where he portrayed similar overconfident personas. Strauchanie's portrayal emphasized his oblivious self-importance, often referring to himself in the third person, and he appeared in short documentary-style sketches on Before the Game as well as live events, including interactions with real Collingwood players at the club's training base. The character's popularity surged in the 2000s, particularly among AFL fans, who sometimes mistook Strauchanie for a genuine reserve player, leading to widespread adulation that even surpassed some real athletes according to former Collingwood coach Mick Malthouse. He featured prominently in charity sports events, such as the EJ Whitten Legends Games in 2007 and 2010, where he scored goals before crowds of up to 12,000, raising funds and awareness for prostate cancer research despite on-field mishaps like injuries. Public appearances further amplified his cult status, including riding in a car during the AFL Grand Final Parade and participating in celebrity races like the 2008 Australian Grand Prix event. This fervor culminated in 2007 with the publication of a mock autobiography, Bryan Strauchan: My Story, which humorously chronicled the character's fictional rise. Strauchanie has seen occasional revivals in Helliar's later work, including a 2023 appearance during Collingwood's week and a pre-season match against , prompted by club requests. Plans for further iterations, such as a titled Open Bryan and a script involving the character in absurd escapades, underscore his enduring appeal. The success of has solidified Helliar's reputation as a skilled character comedian, with the remaining his most frequently referenced creation and a key factor in his recognition within and sports culture.

He has resided in the suburb of since 2017, having purchased a Federation-style home there to relocate closer to the city's vibrant amenities after living in the more remote Plenty area.
