John Robertson

John Robertson
John Robertson is the next big thing in Australian stand- up comedy.

An experienced headliner and corporate MC, a cult personality, and a wild man - he is a high- energy bundle of impressions, pop culture, satire, improv, one-liners and ukulele solos. His shows are smart, commanding, witty, surreal and charming.

In 2010, John toured his fourth solo show, A Nifty History of Evil to the Edinburgh Fringe Festival for a sell- out season. Performing 44 shows in 22 days, he took home the Edinburgh DarkChat award for "Best Comedy Performance". The BBC called it, "A hidden gem… it's all very funny stuff and Robertson is a funny and engaging performer."

As a comic, MC, writer, puppeteer and voice- over man, John is versatile, funny and charming. He has hosted events as diverse as fundraisers, sports club functions, conventions and expos; as well as countless comedy, corporate and community events. He is also in- demand as a speaker and roving act.

He can host your event, perform a stand- up set (including customised material), add music and puppets, or be a roving character among your guests.

As a touring comic, John has performed with some of the best comedians in the world, including Wayne Brady (USA), Mark Watson (UK), Fiona O’Loughlin, Chris “The Bloke” Franklin, Tom Gleeson, Tommy Dean, Austen Tayshus, Justin Hamilton, Dave Callan, Claire Hooper and many, many more!

John Robertson recently won the Best of the Fest award for Wild West Comedy Festival 2011.

Testimonial - British Comedy Guide

"It's rare to see a set so intelligent contain so many jokes - and have these delivered so skillfully... brutal, poetic, bizarre and hilarious." - British Comedy Guide
