Before that he had 38 jobs including as a shark fisherman, opal miner, yacht delivery crew and many varied jobs across 4 continents.

About me:
I"ve Been travelling around the world being funny for some years now and forgot to settle down and have kids. If I meet the right/wrong girl I would like to change that. Not the being funny, the having kids bit. In the meantime I have been to 105 countries and still have itchy feet. When I am in UK I can be seen at all the major venues inc The Comedy Store, Jongluers, The Stand, Banana, Up The Creek etc
