I won a partial scholarship to study Journalism and Literature at the University of Southern Queensland in 1993. I started performing stand-up comedy there and after two years quit my degree to devote my full energies to becoming a professional comedian. I had my first paid job as a comic on my nineteenth birthday, 31/12/95. I got my first radio job writing for Triple M Brisbane at the age 21 in 1997. I wrote jokes and sketches as well as station imaging and promos. I did character voices and impressions as well as occasionally appearing as myself on the breakfast show. In 1995 at age 24 I was invited to perform is one of five acts in an Australian Showcase at the Iconic Hollywood Improv in Los Angeles. In 1999 I appeared on every Australian free to air network as well as Foxtel’s Comedy Channel. In the early 2000’s I was the booker and resident M.C. of The Dockside Comedy Bar and the Albion Comedy Club. In 2007 I stepped up to being a host of Triple M Brisbane’s breakfast show The Cage. During my time hosting that show I also made multiple appearances on The Project and one memorable live cross with British TV for the first day of the Ashes. I met and made fun of four Australian Prime Ministers to their face, had a Subway sandwich named after me and got to go for a ride in a blimp. After fourteen years with Triple M Brisbane Breakfast, a very long time to be in capital city commercial radio, let alone one city, one station and one time slot, that relationship came to an end. Unusually for radio I was given warning and allowed to say goodbye on air, rather than being escorted out by security. Since then I have performed in comedy venues all through Asia and Oceania. I have ghost written a book, and worked on a TV project with the co-writer/co-director of Happy Feet Two. I am available for corporate, event, club and festival comedy performances. I am available to consult in the writing and performing of comedy shows. I am available for radio, pods and TV spots.

I've done stand-up all over the world and no-one has ever asked for their money back.

I did funny stuff on the wireless and came up with good ideas for promotions during very long brain storming sessions. These ideas were then listed on a whiteboard and at some point afterwards someone in a management role took credit for them. I was payed very well to make them look creative and have no bitterness about this. I also sucked up to people who advertised on the station and made them feel like big shots. This wasn't too arduous as I am naturally friendly and these schmoozing sessions also involved food. I was often required to be polite to the listeners of the station for minutes at a time, most of them were quite nice, but often they were mentally ill and hard to detach from. I watched a lot of TV shows I didn't care for because TV stations spend a lot of money advertising on radio. Ditto for movies. All in all, a fun job and not too taxing, except for having to get up very early in the morning.

I sat in a small room and wrote jokes for Sammy Power, who was a great teacher about radio. After Sammy left I wrote jokes for a couple of other people, Greg Martin and Greg Ritchie.

I'm a little hazy on the dates for this. But basically I booked the comedians for the shows and was the MC every night for a long time. This gave me an in depth appreciation of anyone who has to try to organize comedians. M.C.ing every night gave me a pretty good bag of tricks when it comes to working a crowd.
