Australian stand-up comedian and social media personality known for his viral comedy clips and his work with popular Australian comedy collectives such as Yeah Mad and The OG Crew. He is also known for his comedy shows Jokes About the Time I Went to Prison and Sh*t Bloke. 

Before fame

He spent several months in two of Sydney's maximum-security prisons in 2021 after being convicted for the commercial supply of psychedelic drugs. He discovered comedy while he was incarcerated. He committed to stand-up comedy after being released from prison. He began performing regularly in Sydney comedy clubs which led to his debut comedy show Jokes About the Time I Went to Prison. He began sharing his comedy content online around 2023 which helped boost his growing comedy career. 

Trivia

His show earned him a Best Newcomer nomination at the Melbourne International Comedy Festival in 2023. He began co-hosting the comedy podcast Flog Cabin with Daniel Muggleton and Tom Witcombe in 2023. He released the book The Profound Benefits of a Stint in Prison in July 2024.

Family life

He is from Australia. He began performing stand-up under strict legal conditions after his prison release, so his parents had to accompany him to early comedy shows and make sure he returned home before curfew.
