JOEL OZBORN

Comedian Joel Ozborn‘s clean, clever and professional approach to his craft has made him a hit with corporate clients across the globe, including Qantas, Heinz, Budweiser and Toyota, to name but a few. He’s also a sell out at comedy festival shows and national theatre tours.

Whether you’re planning a gala event, a conference, client party or product launch, he is guaranteed to keep your audience entertained and ensure your event is a success.

Since winning his High School public speaking competition by leaving students and teachers in stitches with his talk about the anxiety of wombats, rather than a conventional speech, Joel has continued to do the same for audiences wherever he performs.

Joel began honing his craft on the street at Sydney’s Circular Quay. Not wanting to do the predictable type of street show with a unicycle or juggling equipment, Joel created his own bizarre style of street comedy which led to him winning the 98 Street Performer of The Year competition presented by the Sydney Opera House live on 2Day FM.

Later that year, Joel moved to America to work with internationally renowned comedian /magician The Amazing Johnathan. Over the next few years, Joel travelled extensively across nearly all 50 states of the continent including Los Angeles, New York, San Francisco and Tunica, Mississippi. Joel’s street performing continued in Los Angeles, where he entertained large crowds on Venice Beach. He created more off-the-wall comedy to really get their attention including having a slingshot fired at his face, and squeezing his body through a genuine tennis racket, to name but a few.

In late 2004, Joel returned to the Sydney Opera House, this time performing inside. Since then, he has toured regularly with fellow comedians including Arj Barker and Akmal Saleh. Joel performs regularly at the Melbourne International Comedy Festival, The Adelaide Fringe Festival, The Sydney Comedy Festival, The Brisbane Comedy Festival. He has headlined at comedy clubs, performed in his own solo theatre show, and taken his comedy around the world from South East Asia to Las Vegas.

Considered one of Australia’s funniest and most exciting comedians, Joel Ozborn’s first real taste for comedy came when he won his high School public speaking competition. Rather than delivering a conventional speech on politics or the environment he chose to talk about the anxiety of Wombats, which left both students and teachers in stitches. Since then his comedy has taken him all over the world and on tour with popular comedians like Arj Barker and Akmal Saleh.
