Bio
As a comedian, I’ve appeared on a few TV shows, including ‘The NRL Footy Show’, ‘Stand Up Australia’, ‘Joker Poker’, ‘Last Comic Standing’ and ‘The Mansion’.
I’m regularly on Triple J radio (see the ‘Audio’ section for clips), along with my good friend and dazzling radio personality Scott Dooley. This began with a mildly amusing fake celebrity gossip segment (2006-2007) and then exploded in 2008 with the very popular drive-time segment ‘I Love This Crowd’ where I performed listener’s jokes in a comedy club, then played the recordings on-air for discussion.
I’ve worked with lots of great comics over the years, including being the opening act for Weird Al Yankovic, Arj Barker and Paulie Shore for their respective shows at the Enmore Theatre in Sydney. And in 2009 I went with the Australian Defence Force to the Solomon Islands and Afghanistan, to entertain the troops.
