About Me
My first hour long comedy special 'Wool! A History of Australia's Wool Industry: The Musical!' was nominated for a Green Room Award for Best Cabaret Writing. My next show 'Scandal! A Reflection on Essendon's Doping Saga: The Musical?' was a recipient of the 2020/2021 Moosehead Award. I have also produced and performed two additional shows 'The Nicest Guy in Comedy' and 'One Small Beer, Thanks'. Most recently, I received an Annual Arts Grant from the City of Melbourne in order to develop and stage my next live comedy show ‘Phar Lap: The Musical’.
As a TV writer, I have provided additional writing for 'Get Krackin' Series 2', was a staff writer on 'Hard Quiz' seasons 6-9 and have been a writer's room notetaker for Erotic Stories, RFDS and a SBS Digital Originals Web-Series. In late 2024, I completed a writers attachment at ‘Neighbours’ thanks to VicScreen.
