King Billy Cokebottle

King Billy Cokebottle

King Billy Cokebottle (real name Louis Beers) is an Australian comedian. He is controversial because he is a white person who puts on blackface to make jokes about Aboriginal Australians. The origin of the 'Cokebottle' in his stage name dates back to when he played football with a mostly Aboriginal team. An Aboriginal friend performed a 'blood brother' ritual on Louis, using a broken coke bottle. [http://www.sweeneys.com.au/king_billy.htm]
