About Me

CURRENT MISSION

To do as much stand-up comedy around America!

ABOUT ME

I'm a comedian originally from Melbourne, Australia. Though, I'm often flying all about the place due to my "occupation". I travel to LA a lot to write for shows. I'm lucky enough to have written for The Tonight Show with Jay Leno.

My main loves are comedy clubs, second hand book stores and museums. Food and live music excite me. I take photos and am constantly writing. I can do magic tricks as well. MAGIC. So count me in on fun social gatherings.

I'm currently hopping around the world doing shows. Last year alone I've done Philadelphia, Los Angeles, Boston, New York, Mumbai, Singapore, Jakarta, Perth, Adelaide, Sydney and my home town of Melbourne.

PHILOSOPHY

My main goal in life is to be referenced. You can quote me on that.

HOW I PARTICIPATE IN COUCHSURFING

I like to go to the couch surfing gatherings when I can. When I travel I prefer couch surfing to motels so I can actually get a feel for a city I visit.

COUCHSURFING EXPERIENCE

I've traveled throughout Italy, the US and India purely staying with people I met. I love interaction and learning about culture by hanging around with every-day people. As much as the "touristy" things are nice, chilling out with the locals in a bar someone is always a highlight for me.

One Amazing Thing I’ve Done

In India I was in a remote village. Then I was taken in car 3 hours drive even further away from this place, into the forest area. We got out and walked another 2 hours as there was no further road. We came to a tiny little village in the middle of nowhere, the people had never seen a white person before. We sat down in their mud houses, had food from their hand made clay bowls and then all of a sudden the woman of the house brings out a bottle of Sprite. BAM that's globalization for you.

Teach, Learn, Share

I know a lot of card tricks and fun bar bets. So if you ever want to impress friends and get free drinks, I can teach you a few.
