Mark Trenwith

Mark is an Australian based actor and stand-up comedian who is very peculiar in his ways and brings his own flavor to the street comedy scene. He has achieved a position where it's hard to think of standup comedy without thinking of Mark Trenwith! There is no stand-up comedian more in demand for award ceremonies, public events, product launches and corporate events than Mark. He is also widely popular amongst children for his alter-ego, ‘Mr. Snot bottom’. Apart from acting and stand-up comedy, Mark has plenty of experience as a writer and a director. He regularly holds community programs like ‘Stand Up With Confidence’ and ‘Cracking Up’ to teach comedy and other skills related to stand-up comedy. Mark frequently visits sick children at the Melbourne Royal Children’s Hospital disguised as a superhero ‘Captain Starlight’ in order to cheer kids up.

His comedy career began when he was studying creative arts at the Flinders University. Mark performed his first comedy gig on ‘Raw Comedy’ in 2001. Since then, he has been performing to sell out crowds. He was offered a handful of on-screen roles right after graduation. These included the Australian drama ‘Peaches’ and the TV series ‘Being Me’.

Mark is a busy artist, thanks to his corporate demand, but he can be available to perform at your event. Get in touch now to book him for your show.

COMEDY GENRES

As a major in screen studies, Mark prefers the use of high impact audio-visual presentations in his stand-up. This adds a unique color to his shows, which are considered ‘more animated than Mickey Mouse’ by Rip It Up. He gets his inspiration from issues and observations of everyday life and portrays them in a very funny yet non-offensive way.

As Mr. Snot Bottom, Mark uses pure slapstick to have children of age-5 in tears and stitches. Mr. Snot Bottom’s comedy focuses on toilet humor, farts, boogers, smells and absolute obsession with bodily functions. He transforms himself into an overgrown child, using physical humor and absurd expressions as weapons to captivate the audience. The purpose of Mr. Snot Bottom’s shows is pure entertainment; there are absolutely no educational or moral outcomes. Mark is a highly intelligent stand-up comedian. He continuously delivers successful shows without having to rely on swearing or insulting. Mark adopts lively and personable style while on-stage which makes his audience feel comfortable. According to the Messenger, Mark is ‘destined for bigger things’ whereas Arts Hub thinks that his stand-up comedy is ‘tummy clenching, belly aching stuff’.

NOTEWORTHY PERFORMANCES

Mark has written and directed a number of short films like ‘Pad Thai’ for which he bagged the 2001 Artery Award. He won the ‘People Choice Award’ and ‘Comedian of the Year Award’ in Adelaide Comedy Awards 2010. Mark has performed comedy and received standing ovations throughout the world from Gotham Comedy Club (New York) to The Comics Lounge (Melbourne) and Comedy Store (London). He recurrently sells out shows at the Melbourne Comedy Festival, Adelaide Fringe Festival and Edinburgh Fringe Festival.

Asher Treleaven

Ironically expelled from the drama class for 'not taking things seriously', this Australian comedian is a high school drop-out who has defied all odds to become the comic legend that he is today. After dropping out of drama school, Asher graduated from The National Institute of Circus Arts (NICA). He is one of Australia’s most critically acclaimed comedians due to the sexual patter that dominates his stand-up comedy. On a personal side, this award-winning comedian dresses classically, speaks softly and is an absolute gentleman. With over a decade of experience, Asher is definitely in the business for a long haul.

Asher started his journey in 2003 as a circus performer. He was introduced into the world of stand-up comedy by Robin Ince’s infamous Book Club in the UK, where he worked alongside comedians like Stephen Merchant and Josie Long. On his return to Australia, he produced his first solo show in 2008 ‘The Cellar Show’, followed by ‘Open Door’ in 2009 and ‘Secret Door’ in 2010. Acting, too, bore fruit for Asher. His well-known movies are ‘Comedy Up Late’ (2013) and ‘Quentin’ (2005). When not performing to sell-out crowds, Asher and his wife book, perform and produce in ‘Comic Strip’ along with comedians from all over the world.

COMEDY GENRES

Beware; Asher Treleaven is definitely not the perfect comedian for your child’s birthday party! This is due to the abundance of sexual references in his comedy that makes it come alive. He mainly makes use of ‘Blue Comedy’ and uses irreverent language leaning towards sexism. Asher’s take on comedy is rather different from most other comedians. He will leave the audience with blushes and laughs.

This raunchy comedian is a professional at ad-libbing, so much so that no two Asher Treleaven shows are nearly similar. He makes extensive use of irony and exaggeration to criticize the stupidity or vices of people mainly in a socio-political context. Asher executes this in such a highly non-offensive way that guarantees roars of laughter. The unique blend of sexual comedy and slapstick humor topped with splendid improvisation is what best describes Asher as a stand-up comedian. According to the Three Weeks, Asher is ‘hysterical in all senses of the word’ whereas the Scotsman calls him ‘beautifully crafted and utterly unique’.

NOTEWORTHY PERFORMANCES

His solo shows ‘Open Door’ and ‘Secret Door’ were both nominated for ‘Barry Awards’ in the Melbourne International Comedy Festival. ‘Secret Door’ got him nominated for ‘The Best Newcomer’ at the Edinburgh Fringe and won him the Age Newspaper’s Critics Choice Award. In 2010, Asher won the ‘Powerhouse’ award at theMelbourne Fringe Festival. He was nominated for the ‘Best Show’ in the Melbourne Comedy Festival in 2009 and 2010. His other nominations include the nomination for ‘Best Newcomer’ at Edinburgh Fringe Festival 2010 and ‘Amused Moose’ at the Edinburgh Fringe Festival in 2013.

Asher has years of experiences of dealing with audiences of different origins which makes him a professional for all kinds of events. Contact us for more details.

Luke Heggie

Expect yourself to be taken on a ride of adrenaline rushes, madness and uncontrollable laughter. Luke Heggie has become one of the most respected and sought after comedians in Australia. Owing to his razor-sharp wit and acute sense of humor, Luke has been continuously bagging awards and nominations throughout his comic journey. He has worked day-in and day-out to claim the status that he has today. Top that off with a great voice and singing ability, and it's no wonder Luke has been continuously packing theatres one after another.

Luke was born in Brisbane and worked as an ordinary laborer until the day when he finally decided to turn over a new leaf and try his luck as a corporate comedian. In 2010, he performed his first gig for which he won his first RAW Comedy heat. Starting off with a roar, his second gig got him through to the semi-finals, whereas the third one won him the state final. It is Luke's inborn talent for comedy that has turned him into the quick-paced success story that he is. He is a total bon vivant with his desirable looks and appropriate dressing sense, which make him excellent for hosting or performing at any type of event. Contact us for more details regarding his availability and to know whether or not he’ll be suitable for your event.

COMEDY GENRES

Luke has travelled throughout the world and has developed into an influential storyteller. He started his journey as a stand-up comedian by narrating one-liners that amused his audience, but later enriched his style and started telling entire stories. His stories are usually inspired by his travels around the world and are centered around different stereotypes that he has met. Luke’s comedy style also focuses on mocking the mundane nature of many jobs that a working-class individual has to take up. He will make you view the ordinary things in life from a comic angle which will help you to deal with the dilemmas of daily life. His comedy genre can be classified as observational and deadpan. His ability to execute hilarious punch lines with a straight face is phenomenal.

Luke is dry, cranky and unashamedly sarcastic. His one-liners are intelligently written and cleverly executed. Luke is an enthusiastic learner; he taught himself the ukulele for Melbourne International Comedy Festival Show in 2013, which turned a lot of heads. He has also taught himself to fluently speak, understand and write French. Sydney Morning Herald rightfully calls him ‘sharp, sardonic and understated’.

NOTEWORTHY PERFORMANCES

In only his third on-stage performance, Luke bagged the prestigious Melbourne International Comedy Festival’s ‘RAW Comedy Competition’. TIME OUT declared him Sydney’s ‘Best Comedian’ in 2012. In 2015, he won the ‘Director’s Choice Award’ at the Sydney Comedy Festival. Luke opened for the Nelson Twins at Edinburgh Fringe.

Khaled Khalafalla

Khaled was born to Egyptian parents in Saudi Arabia. He was given high quality education in an international school before his family decided to move to Australia.

COMEDY GENRES

There are no theme-restrictions in Khaled’s shows. He relentlessly switches subjects and covers a wide variety of topics. A closer analysis of his work reveals his interest in black comedy. In that, he deals with rather serious topics like women rights, racial differences and even the ISIS, projecting them in a ludicrous light. Such topics can be highly controversial, but Khaled has the unique talent of portraying them in a non-offensive way. Racial issues are a major area of interest for Khaled. He adopts various accents like Mandarin, British, African and Indian, which he learned from his travels around the world, to get his jokes across. He brings along bursts of enthusiasm and the sort of energy that is highly sought after in the comic industry.

Khaled believes in audience participation, so be prepared for instantaneous questions at all times. However, he never humiliates his audience so don’t be afraid if he's looking in your direction. He is fresh, intelligent and extremely witty, qualities that the comedy scene in Australia looks forward to. According to The Age; 'if there’s one person who’s going to go on to become a huge mainstream star, it’s Khalafalla’. The Beat Magazine rightfully recognizes Khaled as a ‘superb comedian, relentlessly hilarious...charismatic adept and very suave’.

NOTEWORTHY PERFORMANCES

“I couldn't recommend Suns of Fred more. I think they fit our event perfectly they entertained, mingled and were an absolute delight to have on the day. Our event was a huge success with 350 people seated around giant long tables on the sand of the Rockingham Foreshore. If you could please thank them again on behalf of myself and the team. We appreciated everything they did in ensuring the MC, Auctions, Raffles and Fashion parade were covered with humour and entertainment. They were a great asset to our event.

The Long Table Lunch on the Beach 2015

“Suns of Fred performed at a VIP event that we put on back in August and they turned out to be the life of the party. They are a hilarious (and risqué!) trio and I would recommend them to anyone looking for a good laugh. They really turned the energy up in the room and the guests could not stop talking about them afterwards. So funny that I went to see them again two weeks later! Highly recommend”

“Suns of Fred, we are still lost for words about how fantastic you were over the last two nights of the Stand up to MS Comedy Gala. The energy you brought to the stage was captivating, engaging, and hilarious.”

Stand up to MS Comedy Gala Organiser Jenny Stafford

Perth International Comedy Festival Review

The three local lads who made their fame from the side boob gag hit the Velvet Lounge like a bra strap pulled back and released. Suns of Fred are three good mates who, in the vein of the “Doug Anthony All-stars” in the 80s, are a high energy singing and dancing trio.

Coated with melodious harmonies-these lads can sing! It is also extremely dangerous to be in the front row. You could say it is interactive but that would involve voluntary participation. Instead Sly, Fox and Mickey J, who make up Suns of Fred, are in the audiences’ faces from woe to go.

Clearly, this form of comedy has a grateful and appreciative audience obvious from the laughter and applause in the venue. Give yourself a laughter injection and see one of the three remaining shows. Darren Moldrich

Elliot's queer comic potion is a blend of one-liners from his endless history of performances and some special material written just for that particular event. There are few funnier characters in world comedy. His unblinking eyes and unsmiling face form a rib-tickling contrast with the gags that he generates.

They are a delight to watch because of their bubbling energy and propensity to press the limits. Immaculately timed fast-paced dialogue intersperses their rib-tickling music. Their brand of comedy could be flagged under cringe, blue and even insult, as they occasionally pick on their audience to trigger ballistic laughter. People like to laugh at other people, and the Stevenson brothers know that.

Don’t get us wrong. This here is a professional pair of identical performers that has introduced a new type of comedy to the Aussie comic circles.

For instance, they have put together a show about deciding whether to quit regular jobs to become professional comedians. No other comedians mix music and fun in such explosive proportion as the 'who dares twins'. Their performance is really an Experience worth having.

NOTEWORTHY PERFORMANCES

There is no rough around the edges with this class act at all, and his charm wows the audience each and every time he performs.

Just as many other comedians carry that torch of passion for comedy, Ben seems to be in that same light.

Ben is also versatile too—he can work in a corporate environment and a more, down-to-earth, lain back environment as well.

The crowds appear to enjoy his originality and his interest in engaging with his audience as well. He is not one of these comedians who scripts an act and performs it once a week. In fact, Ben try’s to bring something new at each performance, and that is what people really like about him. This is a smooth performer, one who knows what the audience craves when it comes to comedy. You can be sure he is one who will consistently bring you what you’re looking for, and you won’t be disappointed.

Having previously seen Ben perform at a professional networking event, I was really keen for Ben to perform at the Fringe-themed Young Professionals Event hosted by Fox Tucker Lawyers in March 2013. Ben is everything you wish for in a comedian – subtle quick-wit, inclusive audience interaction and guaranteed entertainment.With an intelligent sense of humour, warm professionalism and a charming personality to boot, Ben was a hit - thankyou!

Ben was a great success. As per usual we all had a good laugh. He kept the swearing to a minimum as per our request, which I know would have been hard to do. Thanks again for a great night I’m sure we will be in contact for next year’s event. Thanks

"Hi Ben, Thank you so much for the wonderful job you did at our function on Saturday night; your contribution was most certainly appreciated by all. You provided us with many laughs and many of which were the talk around our coffee machine this morning. The service on the night created a few hiccups which put us behind time, the wedding next door was definitely a distraction, but these things happen and we just have to work with it, and you did that!

It was lovely getting to know you Ben. Good luck with all your ventures for this year. We wish you great success.

Warm regards” Louise Howie - Hyundai Motor Company Australia

"Thank you so much, yes the event was wonderful. We raised the most we have in this year than any of the years before so that is great for ICU. Ben was amazing; he was perfect for this event with his material that was aimed at sport and men. It was hilarious and I had the pleasure of sitting at Ben’s table and he is a really nice guy! We have never had a comedian before at the golf day so I think that made it a lot less corporate and a lot more fun for our audience. Everyone enjoyed themselves tremendously, we have such great supporters and sponsors and to show them a good time as well with Ben coming along was just incredible. I’d like to thank Ben and yourselves for your amazing work and we hope to keep in contact for next year’s event."

Thank you again. Warmest regards,

Adam Hills

One really has to experience the brilliance of Adam Hills to be able to actually appreciate the sheer talent and spontaneous humor of this talented stand-up comedian. A true, blue Australian, Adam Hills is really passionate about his native country, and it shows through his work. Hills is a truly international performer, with performances in the UK, US and Canada, among several other countries.

Some people are born to make others laugh, and Adam Hills is of them. For a person who sees Hills for the first time, his mere facial expression, even before he opens his mouth, gives the impression of someone who is a naturally funny person. And of course, when he gets going, the non-stop humor just keeps flowing.

Adam Hill, was born in 1970 without a right foot, and is now in his mid-forties. Adam lived in a suburb of Sydney, where his parents brought him up treating him like a normal child, despite his disability. He participated in sports, and from a tender age, learned to overcome the odds. In fact, when Adam chose comedy as a career and began to be recognized as a promising stand-up comedian, he found that his prosthesis actually made a handy prop, and served as a focal point in many of his humorous deliveries. Adam Hill is also academically well-qualified, with a Bachelor of Arts degree in communication which he received in 1991.

Hill’s disability has sensitized him to other similarly challenged people, causing him to get involved in working for several organizations connected with physical disabilities. In fact, a considerable part of his audiences are made up of people with physical disabilities and Hill often has a sign language interpreter alongside as he performs. Adam Hill presents the lighter side of being physically challenged, warming the hearts of people with such issues.

Since his debut performance at the Sydney Comedy Store in 1989, Adam Hill was an instant success and there was no looking back. He is well-known for his solo shows at the Adelaide Fringe Melbourne Comedy Festival, as well as at the Edinburgh Fringe. Having performed at Aspen, in the US Comedy Arts Festival, he has the unique distinction of being the only Australian comedian to perform there. By the 1990s, Hill had become well-established in live stand-up comedy, and he toured internationally in ten solo shows of “Stand Up and Deliver” in 1997.

In 2007-2008, Adam Hill performed before what was probably his largest audience till date with the “Spicks and Specks” show, and in a live performance he performed in front of over 75,000 fans. The list goes on and on.

Adam Hill takes ordinary, mundane scenarios of everyday life and injects a hilarious flavor into them. He has also been recognized for his exceptional talent through the several national and international awards that he has received such as the Perrier Award at the Edinburgh Festival, and in 2007, he was presented with GQ Magazine’s ‘TV Personality of the Year” Award.

Adam Hill is a regular figure on national and international television channels. Among other significant achievements, he has appeared on the cover of Rolling Stone magazine, and addressed the opening and closing ceremony of the Beijing Paralympic Games in 2008.

So, how do we sum up this talented Aussie comedian? It’s put over quite neatly in a Tweet by “Dirty Den@Devillo” who says, “So, Adam Hills is pretty much my fave presenter since the Olympics...Freaking LOVE this man.”

Chris Franklin

Chris Franklin is probably on top of the Australian industry of stand-up comedians right now. Having hit the jackpot very early in his career in 1998, he has been performing to packed houses for nearly two decades. He won the ‘Triple J Raw comedy award’ only 6 months after he took up comedy and has since been on a trajectory of success that just goes up and up. His venomous wit and deadly observation share the blame for his slanderous success.

Once a sailor with the Royal Australian Army, Chris rose to fame with his hit parody of the feminism-promoting song ‘bitch’, when he remixed it to ‘bloke’ in 2000. He is a distinguished comedian who'll subvert any audience into sidesplitting laughter through his distinctive brand of observational humor.

His parody song ‘bloke’, a top hit of 2001, hilariously changes the entire message of the feminist-anthem song ‘bitch’ and gives the listeners an exhilarating upshot of music and laughter. He is a predator when it comes to pouncing at opportunities and making serious situations seem ridiculously funny. His recognition in parody and mockumentary is indeed well deserved.

Chris is constantly on a run, performing at innumerable bars and shows throughout the country. Consequently, a big part of his act is bespoke and extempore, depending upon whether he's performing in Sydney, Melbourne, Adelaide, Perth, or elsewhere. His murderous observation of his surroundings and the people around him helps him come up with a dozen jokes in no time! Part of his act is influenced by his easy-go-lucky philosophy of life.

Chris Radburn

We think he chose wisely to become a comedian, as his funny bone could have had him charged with contempt. He was born to be a standup comedian, and the last 10 years have proved it.

He's a versatile, intelligent artist who knows how to tailor his comedy to his audience's taste.

Rob

- NRSC

“Firstly Chris was punctual, which is always a good start. His actual show was outstanding, not one negative comment. everyone I spoke to said the same thing, "How good was that bloke". He had to deal with one peanut in the crowd which he handled pretty easily and honestly it added to his show. So thank you for providing a great comedian and what I could gauge, a top bloke. And also thanks for the professional service you and your company provided too.”

Luke Swannell

- Decoroof

Mark, Thank you so much for recommending Chris to me, for our clients in Adelaide Nov 20th, he was outstanding!

Not only was he very conscious about the briefs, he took time to speak to the client on the day before the show, he relaxed them from thinking he was the ‘’typical’’ comedian, that they had on previous occasions. He was certainly not that comedian!!
Chris was fabulous, quick, and an absolute delight to work with- very easy going, and an all-round lovely bloke.

Please pass on our thanks again, and we will be in touch again to book him and others on your books.

We had fun.

Regards
Amanda Thomas
Director
- Star Entertainment

Chris was fantastic. He was relaxed and very funny and picked up on the vibes in the crowd very quickly. His comments directed at one or two people who walked in late or made a comment were priceless. We all wished he could have kept going longer!

We were really pleased with our choice. It was something we’d never done before and it was a success. We’d recommend Chris to anyone.

Kind regards,
- Cameron Haines

Amanda Gray

Hailed as a "super-bitch with brilliant comedic timings and killer jokes," Amanda Gray is an outrageous standup comedian who knows no limits. She's one of those artists who never fail to surprise you with their audacity and wit, regardless of how many times you've watched them perform. When Amanda Gray comes to the stage, you better hold your belly and duck for cover, because she's going to go on a rampage with her rapid fire, relentless punch lines. Stand her up in a dimly lit pubs bursting with boozed up audience, and things could explode!

Amanda's unflinching, unabashed comedy has placed her at the top of the list of Australia's must-see comedians. She is in high demand for parties and events where rapturous, raw laughter is the only requirement. She has appeared on numerous national events and has also performed internationally. Coming from Sydney, she's a true sport offstage and would give you a ride home if you request her. Book her at your own risk, though. Did we tell you she knows no limits?

COMEDY STYLE

People don’t usually expect a woman to say the kind of things Amanda brings to her act. And the best thing is, she gets away with it because of her deadpan delivery. The audience burst out laughing at her jokes because they are hilarious, and also because they are totally unexpected. For instance, she says her impression of the famous novel He's Not That Into You was that "it was a book about men with stumpy penises". She says she found out later it was about "men with no ball sacks". That's Amanda Gray just warming up!

Don’t expect Amanda to go easy on her audience. She's not the one to call to your child's birthday party, at least not as a performer. But if you're planning a commercial event, where your goal is to have a packed house of pedestrians and have them in cracks and stitches, look no further than Amanda Gray. She'll make them laugh until they beg for mercy, and then she'll make them laugh some more. Contact us to get tabs on Amanda and book her for your show.

NOTEWORTHY PERFORMANCES

There aren’t many female standup comics like Amanda, in the sense that she's more shameless than most of male comics. This is what makes each one of her performances memorable and noteworthy. Other than that, she has been featured on the 2011 Politically Incorrect DVD. She toured nationally with the live show Wild Women of Comedy that culminated into sold out venues during the Sydney Comedy Festival. Amanda has not refrained fromtaking her outrageous comedy to Glasgow and Edinburgh, where she left the audience in fits and gags.

In 2010, the audience at the Sydney Comedy Store got a little more than what they had paid for when Amanda Gray got nude on stage. That's not a regular part of her act, though, so you should just book her as a comedian and not as a porn star.

Rozenbachs’s battle with the bottle is public knowledge, and he did go through a dark phase when he was into heavy drinking. But Adam Rozenbachs is a fighter and an optimist, which was how he managed to fight this battle and win it. His show “Breaking Booze” stands testimony to his successful exit from alcoholism, and though this show, Rozenbachs brings out the lighter side of being a tippler and then quitting. He also puts the message forth, loud and clear to others, “DO NOT EVER DO THAT”.

Other companies include The Victorian Labor Party, Heinz, Nova and the Great Grand Final Comedy Debate. Rozenbachs has dedicated individual performances to the AFL Chairman Mike Fitzpatrick and the CEO of the same organization, Andrew Demetriou.

“Rozenbachs gave the packed house every reason to be cracked up for the best part of an hour. His take on life as a single, then with a girlfriend, and then single, and then possibly with a girlfriend before definitely being left alone, was a hoot.” Singledumber - Herald Sun, April 2011.

"Razor-sharp banter with his audience... there's plenty of laughs waiting for you..." Sunday Herald Sun

For all his abnormal talent, this young man is still making his mark in the comedy industry.

Testimonials

‘Rash’ recently performed for us at our end of year Christmas function. With a number of present and former rugby league players and supporters in attendance, ‘Rash’ smashed them with his down-to-earth comedy routine and very funny one-liners. He was extremely professional in his approach arriving well before he was due on stage and had the audience ‘in stiches’ from his first gag until he finished a hilarious and polished performance 35 minutes later.

I would highly recommend Jason for any corporate, sporting club or charity organisation event if you’re looking for truly entertaining, original comedy act. ‘Rash’ Ryder is the man

“G'day Jasmine,

Thanks for the query, the Beersheba Ball was a great success and everybody commented on how good the entertainment was in particular the comedian. Jason arrived early and was well presented for the occasion. He started about 2100 hrs and finished about 2140 hrs. He was very funny and engaged with the crowd enthusiastically. We were able to provide him a meal (one of the spares) and he donated a DVD to the raffle and another to the Alex Wilson Club. If you could pass on our thanks to him again that would be greatly appreciated.

We run a Ball at about the same time each year (end of Oct) and the entertainment type varies each time. Due to the success of this year we would certainly consider using your services again next year if the committee decides to run with a comedian again (or Band/ DJ/ The comedy Trivia also looks good).”

When Cronulla Sharks boardriders celebrated our 25th anniversary,we hired Jason (Rash Ryder) as our entertainment.

The night was a massive success with over 200 people turning out at Miranda hotel.

Jason told us to use him early which good advice was because things did turn a little raucous as the night went on, funnily enough.

If you’re going to have a speaker /comedian/entertainer at your gig, why not use a surfer that knows what it takes to get the best out of your audience.

I was more than happy with Jason and wouldn’t hesitate to recommend him to others.

John Veage - Patron, Cronulla Sharks boardriders club.

Jeff Green

Straight out of the bustling UK comedy circle, Jeff Green has taken the Aussie stage by storm since the day he landed in Melbourne in 1996. His standup performances during the Melbourne International Comedy Festival turned him into an instant TV sensation, prompting him to adopt Australian residency. He has brought an international flavor to the national TV and stage and has been even more successful than in Britain, where he was called "the funniest standup" by The Sun. Extremely funny, hugely popular, and internationally famous, he has an Australian wife and is not going away anytime soon.

Like many other comics from his generation, Jeff Green also rose to fame courtesy the idiot box. His first standup show was aired on the ITV network in 1996. It was his signature show titled Jeff Green Live, and was recorded despite the word 'Live' in its name. Since then, he has been at the centre of so many TV shows that even he has lost count. He's an insightful writer and has written the bestselling "A-Z" series of titles that have been translated into several languages.

If you're looking for a show with non-stop laughs and gags, Jeff Green is the comic to hire. He'll keep your audience laughing for a long time even after the show is over.

NOTEWORTHY PERFORMANCES

Jen Wong

Jennifer Wong is newer to the Australian comedy scene than most other comedians on our site, but that doesn’t make her any less hilarious. During her brief comedy career that kicked off in 2011, she has won international and countrywide acclaim as a standup artist. Like other comedians, Jen Wong is also the product of the Oz street stage and comedy festivals. She was among the top five comics selected to perform at the 2011 Melbourne International Comedy Festival and one of the five artists behind the outrageously successful The Serpent's Table, which was staged during the 2014 Sydney Comedy Festival.

Jen is also a TV personality and a writer. Hailing from China as her ancestral country, she brings afresh, new flavor of eastern comedy to the Aussie stage. Hugely popular among audiences from all ethnicities, she's audacious, unabashed and cheeky. Some of her shows are rated 16+, which should give you an idea about her specific brand of comedy. She is one of the new breed of comics who have been critically acclaimed by reputable publications such as Daily Telegraph and The Age.

COMEDY STYLE

Jennifer Wong has some unique and unusual jokes up her sleeves and unleashes them at his audience to hilarious effects. Food is one of her favorite topics and she drags Chinese food into most of her performances. You can expect her to take potshots at the audience or even going to them with a plate of noodles or dumplings. She has been a bookseller earlier in life, so a part of her act involves books and bookish people. She can be embarrassing because of her insult and cringe comedy styles that she mixes with her incisive observation, but she is unashamed about it, and that's what turns her into a laughter machine. While being audacious, she's also elegant enough not to cause any offense and keep everything on the side of good taste.

Jen Wong is not the comedian you want to hire for your child's birthday party or an upscale corporate gig. But in between the two, she can make almost any event successful.

Nicknamed as Australia’s “Acid Tongue Prince”, Joel Creasey is quick to make any individual or group a target of his cynical humor, which befits the nickname given to him.

Born in Perth in 1991, Joel Creasey was the joker in the pack at home and started getting involved with stand-up comedy from the age of fifteen. Joel “came out” at the age of 16 in 2007 to his friends and family, which basically means that he declared his homosexuality publicly.

Joel passed out of secondary school from Wesley College, but dropped out of Curtin University where he was studying political science, for a career in stand-up comedy.

Joel had already made his first foray into the world of comedy at seventeen when he entered an Australian stand-up comedy competition, Raw Comedy, and qualified for the finals. He was just nineteen when he entered the Melbourne International Comedy Festival in 2010 with a show entitled Slumber Party. This earned him a nomination for the Best Newcomer. Creasey’s second show, Political Animal was well-received, and he presented it again, at several shows. The third show that Joel Creasey performed in was Naked, which won him accolades, and served to establish himself firmly in the world of stand-up comedy.

2013 ushered in a brand new series of 23 tours all over Australia for Creasey, with Rock God, and for which he received nominations at the Perth and Sydney Comedy Festivals. He began to perform overseas, with shows at Hong Kong, Singapore and Malaysia in 2014. Creasey also participated in the Canadian comedy festival in Montreal, Just for Laughs, in the same year. He then went on to present Rock God at the Fringe Festival in New York as well as at the Soho Theatre in London.

Joel Creasey has also ventured into writing by writing an episode for the television series Warehouse Comedy.

Joel Creasey has also made quite a presence on television in Australia over the last few years, since 2010. He co-hosted The Circle and was also a panelist for Studio 10 and shows like A League of their Own, Tractor Monkeys and The Project. Creasey also appeared in 20 to 1 and It’s a Date. He produced stand-up comedy shows for Just for Laughs and Comedy up Late.

Young, dynamic and highly talented, Joel Creasey shows promise to become one of the legends over the years, in the world of stand-up comedy. Joel Creasy definitely gives you your money’s worth, and more!

"The relentlessly hilarious 23-year-old has the chops of a much more seasoned performer, and the charisma of an inevitable star." – Time Out.

"He's a confident storyteller – energetic, concise, but conversational – with a ruthless wit and an infectious oh-my-god enthusiasm." – The Sydney Moring Herald.

Joel Ozborn

If you want tongue-cheek-humor, Joel Ozborn fits the bill with his hilarious deliveries off a totally deadpan face, Ozborn adds true flavor to his acts. His repertoire seems endless, including all imaginable situations from everyday life. Joel Ozborn has his audiences captivated from the word ‘go’. But, don’t mistake this guy as frivolous – there are undertones of intellectuality in the way he puts his stuff over, which makes you think back on what he spoke about. Ozborn has the gift of getting down to the level of you and me, so that we are able to see a bit of ourselves in his performances, and that is what makes him a true master of his art.

When he was a teenager, Ozborn’s Dad took him to a comedian/magician show by an American performer, the Amazing Jonathan. He had already seen another comedy show by Peter, who later on became Akmal. It was Amazing Jonathan’s performance that decided Ozborn’s fate, and he pledged to become a comedian. Even at that tender age, he used to sneak onto the stage at comedy shows, but would be thrown out due to being underage. However, young Joel was not to be deterred, and he made quite a few comedian friends as a result of this.

Joel Ozborn won a prize for public speaking when he was in high school using stand-up comedy as a prop for his speech, instead of delivering a regular, conventional one. In 1988, he was the recipient of the “Street Performer of the Year”, in a competition organized by the Sydney Opera House.

Shortly after leaving school, the Amazing Jonathan offered young Joel a chance to tour all over the US with him, which he immediately accepted. During this period, Ozborn also worked on his street performing skills, by entertaining people on the Venice Beach Boardwalk in Los Angeles, a locality of hard-core bohemians, who were not easily impressed. However, with his bizarre acts like squeezing his body through a tennis racquet, he managed to gain recognition there, as well.

Joel Ozborn’s stint in America culminated in performing to a packed house in a Las Vegas showroom. By then, Ozborn had indelibly made his mark in the international comedy circuit, with the exposure the Amazing Jonathan gave him and of course, powered by his own brand of raw talent.

Once back in Australia, Ozborn had no difficulty getting bookings all over the country. He got in touch with his old pal Peter, who was now called Akmal again, and together they started touring giving joint performances all over Australia.

Joel Ozborn has made his mark with his contribution to international stand-up comedy, and today is truly a stand-up comedian who has earned his stripes.

“Joel Ozborn’s physical style of comedy was excellent.” – The Sunday Times

“Joel’s style of comedy is in a category not occupied by any other comedian; an actor -talented, physical and unique; the spontaneous standing ovation said it all! Remember his name people; he’s going to be BIG! ... Outstanding!!!” – Rip it Up

“I fell a little bit in love with Joel Ozborn. This tall, nonchalant Eric Bana look-a-like was perfect... went down a treat in a packed house. People were rocking backwards and forwards, holding in their stomachs and letting out shouts of laughter.” The Advertiser

Jonas Holt

Here is a comedian in a class of his own. Being a multi-talented person has helped Jonas in his stage performances. Holt is not only a gifted comedian, but also writes and sings parodies and accompanies himself on the guitar. If that’s not enough, Jonas is athletic and an active gymnast.

Jonas began his stand-up comedy career in 1995 by winning an impersonation competition thirteen times, following which he was disqualified from entering further competitions in Perth. However, now convinced of his abilities in stand-up comedy, Jonas Holt relocated to Sydney, where he went on to establish himself as a well-know stand-up comedian in the national and international league. He is a versatile performer, and keeps his audiences in laughs, whether at a small private function or a large festival.

By 1998, Jonas Holt was seen at all prominent events, and became a family name as an Australian comedian. In 1999, he added another dimension to his acts by carrying his guitar onstage, and began to sing parodies to compliment his acts This was very well-received, and today, his musical parodies are part and parcel of his trademark.

One of the best attributes of this comedian is that he is very well-tuned to the political climate of Australia, and a lot of his acts involve impersonation of politicians, bringing out the lighter side of Australian politics. In recent years, Holt earned new acclaim by his impersonation of Prime Minister Tony Abbott on YouTube’s “The Year of the Abbott”. The videos bring out the characteristic subtle but poignant humor of Holt’s ability to bring out the funny side of politics and politicians, but yet also send out a message to his audiences.

Says Jonas Holt about Prime Minister Abbott: “It all starts with a blue tie and a couple of clumps of blue tack behind my ears. But to really capture the mannerisms – or ‘idiot-syncracies’ – of Tony Abbott, I study not only how he speaks but also what makes him tick.” which sums up his depiction of this Australian Prime Minister quite aptly. The clincher during this series of videos is Holt’s impersonation of the famous “Abbott wink” which he does periodically with practiced finesse.

One of his best non-political videos on YouTube is his impersonation of NRL stars, using the lyrics of the rock band Queen’s Bohemian Rhapsody which is a fine example of Jonas Holts abilities at hilarious impersonations.

Jonas also loves to entertain children, and has appeared in many exclusive shows for children. He often does superheroes shows at kid’s parties in Sydney. He says that he has been performing at children’s parties for eighteen years.

Holt designs funny bumper stickers, and they are sold at his shows for $3.00 each.

To sum up, Jonas Holt is a talented comedian, who was able to use his gift to entertain people with his stand-up routine, and we can expect to see much more from this 38 year old stand-up comedian-musician from Sydney.

On the Year of the Abbott: “It’s not an assault on the Liberal Party, it’s just an annual review of politics – a very funny one.” – Nathan Lentern, writer.

Josh Earl

A “comedian, librarian, cake enthusiast and an ageing hipster” is what Josh Earl describes himself on the Adam Hills Tonight show. Add yet another facet to Josh, yes, musician, and it gives you an idea about this dynamic, multi-talented, funny person called Josh Earl.

Born in Burnie, Tasmania in 1981, Josh later moved to Australia, where he made his career as a librarian and stand-up comedian. Married with two children, at thirty-four, Josh Earl has achieved a lot in a short span of time and is one of the most promising comedians that Australia has to offer.

Josh performs regularly at different venues all over Australia and also appears at international comedy festivals. He has done stand-up routines at the Melbourne Comedy Roadshow, Lazy Susan’s Comedy Lounge at Perth and Canberra, as well as at the Canberra Uni Pub. He is also a regular feature on all major radio stations and has hosted the famous Spicks and Specks radio show 26 times.

Josh Earl has shared the stage with other famous comedians like Tim Minchin, Russell Kane and Arj Barker. On an individual level, Josh has to his credit, nine sold-out seasons till date, which serves as an adequate yardstick to measure the success of this sharp, funny and endearing comedian who performs with child-like innocence and precocious aplomb, but at the same time, is capable of delivering dryly-acidic but hilariously relevant observations about personalities and situations.

Earl has a long list of rib-tickling parodies in his repertoire. Some of more memorable ones are his song about being on Skype with his mother, the train cake, his song about Jesus and the one about Josh being a librarian. The classic quality about all of Josh’s performances is that they seem like extempore – really good, clever extempore, that hits the mark without (literally speaking!) missing a beat. The trademark combination of his guitar and the humorous lyrics makes Josh Earl a real treat to look forward to on stage, leaving you wishing for more, when it’s all over.

“Josh Earl has mastered the craft of musical comedy. It’s not that all musical comedy is passé or a cheap gimmick; it’s just that Josh Earl does it exceptionally better than anybody else around. Get the man a record contract and a low budget YouTube clip, and sit back and watch it go viral. Josh Earl take a bow.” – Brendan Hitchens – Inpress Magazine 2012

“Full of genuinely touching sentiments about relationships that are cheekily honest and truly hilarious, Earl will have you feeling reassured that your relationship problems are common, as well as comedy gold. You’ll want him to stay on stage for another hour as you realise his show is coming to an end. 4 Stars” Alex Samspon, The Herald Sun March 2011

Julia Morris

You will love this outspoken Australian comedian who has a realistic take on life. Julia Morris steps onto the stage and captivates her audience with descriptive narrations exuding natural humor which keeps the audience in laughs throughout the entire delivery. You hardly realize that you are laughing harder than you have laughed in a long time, because the humor is straight off the bat, without a single moment of hesitation.

Born in 1968 in Sydney as Julia Carolyn Margaret Morris, this Australian comedian, actress, writer and television personality has “been there, done that”. Julia had a comic element to her character since her schooldays, and although it got here into trouble from time to time, she was known for coming up with original one-liners ever since those early years.

Most of Morris’s performances focus on herself and her own personal experiences and her take on life in general. She first appeared on television at the age of 17 in 1985 in a talent show where she sang “Holding Out for a Hero”, and received the first prize. However, it was not until 1995, through her series Full Frontal, that she gained national recognition.

Julia moved to the UK in the year 2000, where she gained recognition as a talented comedian. She hosted several BBC TV shows in the UK, and appeared in most of the major international comedy festivals held during that period. In 2002, Julia Morris won the Herald Angel Award at the Edinburgh Festival. She was named “London’s Comedy Performer of the Year” by Time Out in 2004. Julia also wrote and performed in three shows on London’s West End.

Back in Australia from 2007 onwards, Julia made steady progress into the Australian comedy circuit. She won It Takes Two of Channel 7 in 2008 and in the next two years, was nominated for the Helpmann Award. Morris’s memoirs entitled Don’t you know who I used to Be? received an overwhelming response in 2009.

Julia Morris’s better-know appearances are on It Takes Two, where she won the contest performing with singer David Hobson, Spicks and Specks and Thank God You’re Here. Among other awards and achievements, Morris won the 2011 series of The Celebrity Apprentice Australia in 2011, and hosted Australia’s Got Talent in 2013. Her latest assignment is co-hosting I’m a Celebrity...Get Me Out of Here! on Network Ten.

Julia is married to Dan Thomas who is a renowned British comedian. They have two daughters, Ruby Charlotte and Sophie Rebecca. Dan bought Julia a title online in 2003, “The Lady of the Manor of Gosforth”. It is not legally valid, but she regularly uses this title as a prop in her stand-up routines.

“Comedian Julia Morris, as Lewis’s partner, Gemma, is a genuine revelation: serious, and somehow both vulnerable and formidable” – Sydney Morning Herald

“Morris’s show is one long, blue, naughty, unrelenting paragraph, with punchlines flipped over the shoulder with a lift of a Jimmy Choo... if you’ve even the smallest funny bone it will spill you out into the night with a stubborn grin. I’m still laughing” – The Scotsman

Julia Wilson

The first adjective that comes to mind about Julia Wilson is “tough”, which is the word which comes to mind, after seeing just one of her performances. Wilson is a person who has reached where she is today, the hard way. So, she definitely comes under the category of “rough diamond”, but nonetheless, still a diamond, a gem in the world of Australia’s comedy circles, accompanied by loads of international acclaim, to boot. Julia Wilson shares her wildest and most outrageous, even immoral experiences with her audiences, and isn’t afraid of revealing her most embarrassing moments.

Says Julia, “I don’t try to be funny, I just tell dirty little stories on stage that I think are funny. I’m really lucky to have an odd life where weird and crazy things happen all the time so re-telling the truth and making people laugh is the perfect job for me.” This projects the true essence of the comedian, Julia Wilson.

So, what is it that makes Julia tick? The main driving force of Julia Wilson is her bold and adventurous attitude towards all the tricky situations that she gets into. Having worked as a bodyguard as well as a female bouncer, Julia has been in enough sticky situations to be able to draw from.

To illustrate her bold approach to life and the capacity to see the funny side of the worst situations, she recalls the time when she worked as a bouncer and ejected one of the very drunk female patrons. Once out on the street, the lady in question called her a “fat lesbian slut”. Julia just responded by laughing helplessly and yelling back, “I’m not a lesbian”. She frequently shares this experience with her audiences, and the way she narrates it, never fails to have the audience in stitches.

Julia Wilson has performed at major comedy clubs and shows around the world, in Canada, the UK, Germany, South Africa and Croatia, among others. She has also appeared in an Australian movie called Oyster Farmer and on the television series Love My Way. Julia’s latest comedy gig is a show called Scarred Not Scared. It is a show that showcases Julia’s scars. She literally has some scars each with a story to tell. She calls each scar that she has a “trophy”, and of course, you can imagine the story that she narrates in her inimitable style about each one. She has a scar from a lion and a convict, among several others. Julia considers these escapades as “getting into some seriously dangerous fun”, but then she adds, “I wouldn’t have it any other way”.

"Wilson is as tough as a sack full of nails... takes you on a taste defying ride you won't forget in a hurry." - Drum Media, Australia "Her gags are fired off faster than snakebites in a mongoose cage...There's nothing like laughing at other people's misfortunes, and no guilt if you can claim you were scared into it... Be warned." - TNT Magazine, UK

Lehmo

Here is another hilarious guy who would probably not win granny’s approval by way of his rather rough language, but Lehmo is good. Lehmo has a rather conspiring air about the way he shares anecdotes with his audience, captivating them from start to finish. Laughs are guaranteed when you sit in Lehmo’s audiences, and his endless repertoire will leave you hoping that the fun will never end. And that’s what measures true success of a stand-up comedian.

Born on 20 August 1969 Anthony Lehmann had a normal and rather conventional education, graduating as a chartered accountant and working as one for several years (“too many years”, he says), crunching numbers for various companies.

Then, when he was just into his twenties, he had an unsuccessful foray into comedy, when he entered the show “Red Faces:” on Hey Hey I’ts Saturday where he got 2 zeroes and a 3 from the judges. However, he was unfazed by this setback and went on to entertain troops in East Timor in the Middle East. This is where he honed his skills as a standup comedian and then he started his career in standup comedy in earnest, starting with his show, Christmas in Baghdad, where he shares his experiences of mingling with the troops and flying around in Black Hawks in Iraq.

Over the years, Lehmo has proved to be one of the well-traveled Aussie comedians, having performed at international locations like New York, London, Edinburgh, Johannesburg, Kuala Lumpur, Singapore and Hong Kong among several others.

Lehmo has also proved to be a showman of exceptional stamina, with his recent Guinness World Record, for the maximum number of jokes cracked within an hour, 549, against the previous record of 50. Lehmo also acted in an Australian movie Offside, where he plays the role of a former soccer star, a role with which he is comfortable, as he is an avid supporter of the Aussie Rules football club.

Lehmo has a distinctive style to his standup routines, which endears himself to his audiences almost instantly. His down-to-earth approach to daily situations and people that he comes across, and the way he sees a humorous angle to every scenario, makes watching Lehmo in action, a memorable experience.

During the period that he co-hosted the popular breakfast show, Milly & Lehmo, some of the biggerst stars like Bon Jovi, Pink, Juliette Lewis and Dave Grohl were interviewed by Lehmo. More recently, Lehmo has just come to the end of a tour of duty at the TripleM National Drive Show featuring Wil Anderson.

Lehmo recently got married to television producer Kelly Kearney in December 2014.

Lehmo’s easy and comfortable attitude on stage, coupled with some really great one-liners, puts Lehmo among the best of the best comedians in national and international comedy circles.

“Lehmo is a fantastic personality to work with and ensured that our dinner was a huge success, I would recommend him to any organization looking to put some fun and enthusiasm into an evening." – Greg Stirling - Senior Brand Manager, Jacob’s Creek Wines

A fitting nickname to a totally freaky comedian, stuntman and magician, Mad Mike Bennett really lives up to his name. Just a few seconds into any of his acts and you will be in stitches, with free-flow comedy and a seemingly endless supply of energy. Bennett is a natural, and has his finger on the pulse of all things in life, managing to find a funny angle to all of it, which is what makes him such a successful standup comedian.

Bennett was born in New Zealand who later settled down in Australia. He made his first foray into the world of comedy rather late, at the age of 36, working on islands in the South Pacific and became a regular at the Sun Deck Hotel at the Perisher Ski Resort at New South Wales, where he worked until 1993. Bennett made his mark in all the major comedy circuits at home as well as abroad.

Mike Bennett is still extremely popular in the South Pacific region, and on board cruise liners. He worked for 15 years for Warner Bros. at the Warner Brothers Movie World, where he did warm-up acts and is well-known to most people for this. He won the Big E award in 2006 under the category of Best Atmosphere/Street Performer. The event was created and hosted by the International Association for Amusement Parks and Attractions (IAAPA).

Mike Van Acker

True talent will always rise to glory, whatever the circumstances and this could not be truer for Australian standup comedian, singer and MC, Mike Van Acker. He is not new to the world of comedy – Mike has been involved with comedy for almost 25 years now, and exudes confidence as he delivers hilarious one-liners with the suavity of one who really knows his way around his own territory, and of course, he does.

Mike Van Acker loves his job, he says that “no two gigs are the same, I get a chance to get out there and have my say” and then jokes, “it gets me out of the house away from the kids!” (laughs).

Mike’s career did not start with comedy. He played the guitar in bands, but he observed that his witty interludes with the audiences in between the songs were better received than the actual songs. On The Late Nite Show with Lindsay Webb, he admits that he did singing telegrams for several years in Brisbane as he needed the money. This actually helped him in interacting with unknown, sometimes aggressive people (and he even got things thrown at him!)

So, with all this background experience, and having run his own cleaning business, he was well-prepared for dealing with people and situations, when he got invited to the “Sit Down Comedy Club at Brisbane in 1992. Although Mike didn’t meet with instant success, within a few years he became good at it, sold his cleaning business and went into fulltime comedy.

Over the years, Mike Van Acker has performed at various locations all over Australia and New Zealand, at all the major comedy clubs and event as well as in countries like the UK, Indonesia, Malaysia, Hong Kong and Singapore.

Being a rather good guitarist (he has a nice and easy style of strumming), Mike often appears on stage guitar in hand, and belts out a funny song which really engages the audience. He also throws a bit of magic into his acts, and all this makes his shows interesting, enjoyable, and memorable.

Mike Van Acker has a long list of awards and recognitions. He was named Queensland Comic of the Year in 2002 a nd 2003, and in 2005, he appeared on Home Grown Humour on Chanel 7, and on Oi! Oi Oi! on the Triple M Network in the same year. He appeared on Gabby, Mike and Stav on the B105 Radio Station breakfast show in 2006. His list of corporate clients includes Coca Cola, The Sunflower Growers Association and the Australian Taxation Office.

Apart from being an accomplished comedian and musician, Mike Van Acker is also a professional photographer, and has been active, shooting at weddings since 2006.

“Mike was absolutely fantastic. He was professional, friendly, energetic, dynamic, flexible in delivery, and we feel he really did go above and beyond the 'call of duty'. He had exceptional time management skills and was able to assist us in dealing with a couple of stressful situations that occurred during our Conference. He met with us beforehand to discuss our needs and he exceeded all of our expectations. Funny, friendly, fabulous and highly recommended to all”

-Melissa Upson, Conference Manager, Voc Ed Learning Group

Fiona Bacon, Fuji Xerox.

''Can you please personally thank Vince for stealing the show he was amazing last night. I have worked here for almost 8 years and have dealt with a lot of entertainers and he was so professional and friendly to deal with. Vince arrived early to work out the room which was hard as a lot of older people and he worked out the crowd quickly and won them over. He listened to all of the harness racing info of the favourite horses for the race and brought that into his act and I was so impressed at how quickly he did that. We have had such great feedback from the night and that is due to Vince's performance."-

Darren Carr

Darren Carr belongs to the rare and resurgent breed of comedians known as ventriloquists. The art of ventriloquism is a stagecraft in which the comedian sports a dummy or a puppet that he controls and changes his/her voice to give the impression as the puppet is doing the talking. Ventriloquism was globally popular in the '70s, but lost its place to more modern acts of standup such as observation. Darren Carr is keeping the act alive and kicking.

He is like a breath of fresh air to the Oz comedy scene because he brings a lost art to life with sidesplitting hilarity. His comedy is refreshing and highly enjoyable because it's unlike anything you've ever seen (given that you haven't seen Carr perform before).

His style of comedy is clean and upbeat. He mixes ventriloquism with comedy and music in just the right proportions to serve you the most refreshing cocktail of entertainment.

He uses a variety of puppets and has no problem getting the funniest voice out of a duck, a grandpa, a baby, or his favorite cheeky sidekick. A classic comedian by virtue of the very genre of his comedy, Carr never crosses the red line and sets the audience at ease before killing them with gags. He and his cast of crazy characters will make you fall of your chair if you're not careful.

Aaron Counter

Soft-spoken and mild, Aaron Counter doesn’t strike you as a standup comedian if you see him for the first time. But those who have seen him perform know very well that this cool customer has the capability grow on them. He comes through as subdued and overpowered in crowded comedy venues and bars, but his rock-solid confidence and relaxed, low-powered delivery slowly casts a spell upon his audience. With that said, he may not be your perfect comedian to perform before rowdy crowds, but he's an internationally famed comic who just fits the bill for corporate events, private parties, and other decent forms of standup.

Born in Australia, Aaron became famous when he reached the final of BBC's New Comedy Awards in 2005. He came back to Australia after performing in the UK for some time.

COMEDY STYLE

Aaron's unpredictability makes him absolutely hilarious. His cool, calculated comedy style draws in his audience and mesmerizes them, only to break the spell when a bout of laughter escapes them. He is a crafty comedian who creates humor through his keen observation of modern everyday life, sometimes picking scathing themes that he disguises well beneath his soft demeanor. His confidence is contagious and his under-powered delivery works perfectly well for more intimate settings. He would often pull a chair and start narrating his travel experiences or his take on everyday life, slowly growing on his audience.

His altercations with his girlfriend, the reactions he faces because of him being an Aussie, air travel, and modern life are some of the topics that Aaron regularly uses to create laughter. His amiable and engaging manner compensates for the lack of standup vigor that underlines his performances. He likes to pick fresh topics all the time, so some of his material may still be evolving when he takes it on stage. His low-key delivery disguises the rough edges of his comedy and makes the more cynical or offensive of his jokes palatable. Aaron Counter offers great value and is the perfect choice for intimate parties and upscale corporate events.

This was my first time hosting a function with a celebrity and both Fiona and Tess were an absolute delight to deal with.
I cant thank you enough for making sure this event went ahead as planned and for being so easy to deal with as well (and taking my phone calls at all times of the day and night!!!) I will have no hesitation booking through you again.

Thanks again Mark, it was a pleasure dealing with you.”

Steady Eddy

Expect yourself to be taken on a ride of uncontrollable laughter, madness and mayhem. Cristopher Widdows, better known by his stage name “Steady Eddy” is an Australian comedian who has been an invaluable asset to the comedy circuit for over 20 years. Diagnosed with cerebral palsy, the comedian is often found joking around about his condition rather than taking it too critically. Eddy has also tried his luck as an actor. He can be seen alongside worthy actors in movies and TV series like “Under the Radar” and “State Coroner” amongst many others.

Owing to his acute sense of humor, this stand-up comedian is widely loved and appreciated by fans all over the world. Steady Eddy will leave no stones unturned to make you fall off your chair after fits of hysterical laughter. He will make you view the dilemmas and anxieties of life through a comic angle which will change the way you think forever. Contact us to get more details about Steady Eddy and his availability.

COMEDY GENRES

Initially, Eddy confined himself to humor based solely on his disability. Now he has widened his horizon to realistic, daily life issues like marriage, divorce and politics. He is very well recognized for his original style and creates an incessant flow of new ideas. He's got so much variety that no two Steady Eddy Comedy shows are ever nearly the same. “You have to move on so it doesn’t get boring” Eddy says. He delivers searing punch lines with ridiculous facial expressions to entertain audiences of all types. His trademark expression is the witty grin that covers his face every now and then.

Eddy states that he has been through a lot over the last few years, having married and divorced twice. This gives him a firsthand experience of what it’s like to drag on a fruitless marriage, which forms the basis of his stand-up comedy. He believes that it is essential to make the most out of each show and have each individual present have the heartiest laugh of his life. Gladstone Observer states Eddy is “as intelligent as they come”, whereas The Independent UK calls him “a hit”. Steady Eddy has been continuously packing theatres out from coast to coast over the years and his work is widely appreciated.

NOTEWORTHY PERFORMANCES

Steady Eddy’s career began in 1992, and things have only been going upwards since then. He won an ARIA Award in 1994 for best comedy album titled ‘Ready, Steady, Go’. The same year brought him a ‘Young Australian Achievers’ Award’ in the Melbourne International Comedy Festival. Eddy has also won the prestigious MO Award twice for ‘New Wave Comedy Performer’. He has also given appearances in countless television programs. Eddy is continuing to receive several nominations and has performed in numerous award shows throughout his experience as a stand-up comedian.

Eddy is informally known as "the bent comedian" in Aussie comic circle, but he's also a musician and an actor. In 1998, Eddy released his first music album called “Born to be Bent”, revealing himself to be a well-rounded performing artist.

Comedian Steady Eddy will take you on a journey when things where a little bit more simple, like when a phone was just a phone. He will have you laughing, probably crying laughing in his original razor sharp style.

Recognised both for his original style and continuous flow of new material, no two Steady Eddy Comedy shows are ever the same, and for that matter, neither will you be after watching him.

Steady has the best comedy timing we have seen, ending a searing punch line with his trademark grin. Few comedians in the world are as well-loved as Steady Eddy, continuously packing theatres out from coast to coast for over 20 years.

His critics, such as the past Joan Rivers say “he is so very very funny” and he worked with her on The Australian Theater Tour. Helen Razer of Melbourn Age says “he is a comic whom your mother would love,” implying he is very clean and refreshing in his comedic phrasing and style.

David Smiedt has been delighting audiences around the country and overseas with his brand of warm inclusive, uplifting, intelligent comedy and is one of Australia's finest comedian MC's and corporate performers.

To be honest I was a bit nervous... RSM Bird Cameron had never done anything like this before and I wasn't sure how it was going to be received. How wrong I was! David Smiedt was brilliant - he took the time to meet with us prior, to walk through his performance, and on the day he nailed it.

David had a great blend of original gags and was able to personalise his performance, providing some hilarious insights about our senior people and our industry. This worked perfectly and was exactly what we were looking for.

David was extremely professional and polished, I would highly recommend him for any corporate event, especially if you wanted to have a bit of a laugh at yourself.,

Dave O’Neil

Dave O' Neil is a Melbourne based standup comic who has held audience in stitches for the last twenty years. He brings an authentic Aussie brand of comedy to the stage and draws humor from real life situations. A husky voice and a serious face tell you little about the mayhem that O'Neil can create when he has the stage to himself. A hugely talented performer, he has also proven his mettle at acting, music and writing. But standup comedy is his thing, and he's true to it despite his celebrity status.

Dave started as a standup artist when he was working with the Red Cross back in the 80s. He delivered talks and conducted training sessions only to find out that he enjoyed telling jokes and making people laugh. He was also the bass guitarist of the Melbourne band Captain Cocoa before he ventured into radio in the early '90s and appeared on a local radio program consecutively for five years. That cemented his reputation as a gifted comic and bolstered his standup career. You can reach Dave O'Neil via Standup Comedians to check his availability and book him for your show.

COMEDY GENRES

Dave is a powerhouse of observational comedy. His routine also contains elements from the blue and cringe genres. He cracks his punch lines with a deadpan face and incites rib-tickling laughter by revealing the ridiculous aspects of life in Australia. Although his acts often contain homophobe and explicit references, he's crafty enough to sugar coat sensitive subjects with heartwarming humor and spread giggles around. He's intelligent and has authored several books including the bestseller Everything Tastes Better Crumbed.

Critically acclaimed as one of the most accomplished stand-ups in Australia, O'neil never misses his mark with a hall full of expectant audience. His very presence on the stage is the guarantee that the show will be a success. His serious demeanor creates a stunning contrast with the hilarious lines that he speaks, taking his audience by surprise. He is audacious with his punch lines and beams his most charming smile just as his listeners burst into uproarious laughter.

NOTEWORTHY PERFORMANCES

O'Neil is a regular performer at the Melbourne International Comedy Festival and keeps visiting other parts of Australia to perform at different venues. He has appeared on several TV shows including the ABC's Tractor Monkeys and ABC 1's Sleuth 101 and Adam Hills In Gordon Street Tonight. His most memorable classic TV programs include the hit music show Spicks and Specks. He starred alongside Eric Bana in the 2002 Australian blockbuster The Nugget. In 2003, he played the role of the butcher in the Australian comedy film Take Away.

Radio seems to be O'Neils second most favorite medium, after stand-up. He has hosted dozens of radio programs consistently over the years. His most popular radio gigs include the top-rated breakfast show Hughsy, Kate & Dave and another famous breakfast show Dave and Denise with Shaun Micallef. He may not be as famous as some of the other TV comics on this site, but he's a stand-up artist who makes it impossible to leave the show without a smile on your face.

An atmosphere some comedians would kill to be able to generate sitting in Dave O'Neil's audience is genuinely to feel like you've stumbled into a relaxed conversation among friends... there's an engaging affability... unprepossessingly goodspirited fun.-Chortle

One of our most accomplished stand-ups-The Age

As well as his stand up career Dave is a skilled radio broadcaster and has been a part of successful teams on Nova 100 (with Kate Langbroek and Dave Hughes), Vega 91.5/Classic Rock FM (with Sean Micallef Denise Scott Chrissie Swan and Ian 'Dicko' Dickson) and most recently on 774 ABC Radio in Melbourne.

Talking to him beforehand, a number of people said he was the most polite comedian they had met. I have seen Chris a few times and that is why we asked if he could do our function. Completely satisfied with his act at our Sports Dinner.”

Bill

“Just wanted to say, that Chris Wainhouse was the best pick for our Members Christmas party. He made everybody hysterically laugh, and got them all involved in the jokes. It bought something different to party and started the night off with a bang.”

Kind Regards, Carla

Cam Knight

Cam Knight is one of those entertainers who rattle on non-stop, bringing on laughs by the dozen with every delivery he makes. Although rather on the slapstick side, Cam Knight’s inimitable style touches the heart of everyone in his audience, as he highlights everyday, routine situations and adds a comic twist to them.

Born in 1976 in Cummins, South Australia, Cameron Knight or Cam Knight as he has come to be known passed out from the South Australian Centre for the Performing Arts, Adelaide. He discovered his true calling as a stand-up comedian, and launched his career on the television show Big Bite.

He also appeared on other television shows like The Jesters, Stingers and Blue Heelers, and worked for Comedy Channel’s Comedy Slapdown. One of the highlights for Cam Knight personally, was being able to perform alongside his childhood stage hero Mr Glynn Nicholas in the show Certified Male, in Perth.

Cam Knight also drew upon his training in acting by taking up acting assignments from time to time. He acted in a 15-minute film, What’s the Matter? directed by Lee Rogers, which premiered at the LA Short Film Festival, and this film was later screened at the 2007 Flickerfest at Bondi Beach.

Cam also has a string of festival shows to his credit – Impro Sundae (six years of improvised sketch) at the Melbourne International Comedy Festival, for example. His other indigenous shows include Let Me Entertain You Too, Split Bill, Then There’s Love and ManCHILD at the Adelaide Fringe Festival.

Among his later achievements, Cam Knight appeared in Just Another Misfit, which he performed to a sold-out house at the Sydney Comedy Festival and at the Melbourne Comedy Festival in 2013. This motivated him to write a totally new show 100 Percenter which was featured at the Sydney Comedy Festival.

As a master of ceremonies, Cam Knight is a popular fixture, and has been seen hosting various award nights, fundraisers and other corporate events, such as the Tour De Cure Bond Night and the McGrath Foundation Luncheon.

The comments from The Herald Sun aptly summarize Cam Knight’s level of achievement in his career of stand-up comedy: "Knight has mastered his art well. knows how to work a crowd from the get-go to the end. brutally funny."

What They Say...

★★★★½ “For an easy win at this year’s comedy festival, don’t miss Cam’s charming yet irreverent take on fatherhood, which will leave an indelible impression that may affect your own parenting for the better, but possibly for the worse.” - The Herald Sun - March 2015

★★★★★ “When it comes to working a room their isn't a single comic that even comes remotely close to his ability. In that respect Knight stands alone as the master of all masters.” - The Last Laugh - April 2015

★★★★ “GIVE the guy a comedy knighthood for crying with laughter’s sake. Cam Knight is the king of going off on an audience-led tangent and somehow finding his way back to where he wanted his story to be” - Jo Schulz Herald Sun April 2014

★★★★ “Mastered his art…..Brutally funny." - Herald Sun 2013

"Pure chemistry...a great raconteur; relaxed and in control knows how to relate to the audience"- The Melbourne Age

"Amiably hilarious" - The Daily Telegraph

“We sometimes struggle having people mingling in and spending some time with each other at a work function. I don’t know if it happens at your workplace. Ours is a pretty healthy workplace but we still have this issue. We decided to add some good old entertainment to the standard free food & drinks to our last EOFY function and had Cam Knight performed a half hour show for us. The choice couldn’t have been better. The numbers on the attendance list were up staff kept asking one to another if others were going and when the day came we had an exceptional turnout.

Cam sought directions about the content of the show in person and we all had a wonderful time. He nailed the audience and chose appropriate topics that would make us laugh. He had bothered to learn a little about us which added a few jokes about ourselves. He entertained us not only with wonderful stories and good jokes but with wonderful acting. Some of his poses and faces were hilarious. He also interacted nicely with the audience. All in all a great success”

Kind regards
Maria Vazquez | Executive Assistant

“Cam was great, I had a great laugh and so did everyone. It was a difficult room to work being very long but he did a fantastic job and is a really lovely guy.

The night was a great success and Tommy was a good fit. His relaxed and jovial yet professional approach to MC was welcomed by the Team. He was interested in what the company was celebrating and on the ball at all times, even getting up to help the presenters on occasion.

His comedy spot had everyone laughing and engaged and his content fitted in with the night perfectly, obviously having done some research while chatting to Team Members outside, as he made mention of the owner Sam Kennards passion for Cricket.

Simon Kennedy

A comedian with a track record of over 12 years, as writer, broadcaster and stand-up comedian, Simon Kennedy is one of the most renowned corporate entertainers in Australia today. Simon is well-known on The Show With No Name which he hosted for five years, and he has also made a name for his performances on Nova 96.9 FM’s Kennedy & Philp. This is what bears testimony to the highly versatile, intelligent, insightful and extremely talented stand-up comedian called Simon Kennedy.

Simon lost his mother to the 9/11 attacks – she was onboard Flight 77 which crashed into the Pentagon in 2001. This was a major factor that changed his life and shaped his comedy career, for example, since then he developed a hatred of racism, so all his acts are of a very broad-minded nature.

Simon Kennedy launched his first major comedy gig in 2001 with his own show Fishing for Cigars at the Melbourne International Comedy Festival show. He just managed to break even, but this encouraged him to push on ahead.

The next year was successful for Simon, with the Angina Monologues, at the Old Fitzroy Hotel Theatre which he also performed at the Melbourne Fringe Festival in 2002. In 2003, Simon launched his very own show entitled The Show With No Name also at the Melbourne Fringe Festival, which ran continuously for 5 years at various venues. The highlight of 2005-2007 was Simon Kennedy Stands Up! which featured at the Powerhouse Theatre in Brisbane.

Simon Kennedy has also been very active in terms of TV appearances on Stand Up Australia, the Joker Poker Series 1 & 2 on Channel 10, and the Today Show on Channel 9. He was also prominent in Harry’s Practice and Home & Away on Channel 7, and was a popular fixture in ONE HD’s Thursday Night Live. Simon also appeared in several television commercials in the UK and Australia and had the distinction of being a finalist in NBC Network’s Last Comic Standing. Today, Simon is in the process of developing a few indigenous TV projects of his own.

As a multi-talented personality, Simon Kennedy’s talents do not end in just standing on a stage and spouting out one-liners. He is a skilled voice artist as well, and did the voiceover of all the voices in a few award-winning short films, Atonement Tonight, (a parody of the Iraq War), Barney and The Whitehouse.

Among his other various talents, Simon Kennedy is also a prolific writer, having the distinction of being the chief creative writer for the Nova Radio Network, where he worked for seven years.

Simon Kennedy also has a few awards under his belt, including the award for the Best Comedy Segment presented by the Commercial Radio Industry Awards and The Best Radio Production award in 2004,

Hire Simon Kennedy as an MC for your next corporate events

Simon Kennedy is also available as a master of ceremonies for corporate events and private parties, where he is a popular feature, and much sought-after.

The overall experience of watching Simon Kennedy perform is good, and one can really look forward to an event featuring this talented comedian, writer and actor.

For 5 years Simon hosted “The Show With No Name” with comedian Steve Philp, as well as “Kennedy & Philp" on Nova 96.9FM. Simon's Radio, Television and Corporate experience is extensive. Contact us for a full bio and testimonial list.

He captured theaudience’s attention immediately and had everyone in stitches to the point where one of our Account Managers went purple!!! He did “Respectfully Rude” perfectly, and didn’t resort to making fun of people which was nice. I appreciated his efforts in taking the time to find out about the event, the audience, and also if there was any issues which he needed to avoid. I would recommend him for any event – small, big or large! Thanks so much Simon for a brilliant evening.”
