Gavin is a professional stand-up comedian, MC and workshop leader, with extensive performing, writing and producing experience across Tasmania, interstate and overseas. Gavin began his comedy career in Western Australia in 1999 as a national finalist in the RAW Comedy competition. He moved to Melbourne in 2000, and to Hobart in 2005.
Gavin's performing and production experience includes Jokers Comedy Club and Comedy at the Casino in Hobart, nine Melbourne International Comedy Festivals, numerous Hobart Comedy Festivals, the Wild West Comedy Festival in Perth, Taste Festivals, Laugh-Aid shows, quiz nights, regional comedy shows and tours, many more corporate and community events, and even comedy clubs in Ireland and France. He has appeared on Channel 10's 7PM Project and The Comedy Channel's Stand-Up Australia, and has featured in a number of TV commercials. He has been a regular guest on ABC radio and 7HO-FM radio in Hobart and has supported international comedians including Tommy Tiernan, Jeff Green and 'Weird Al' Yankovic. Since 2012 he has also been performing on the high seas, as an on-board comedian with a variety of international cruise lines.
Gavin's public comedy workshops are regularly held in Tasmania and Perth (with other cities offered from time to time), and he also specialises in corporate presentation and public speaking coaching, plus team-building comedy workshops. His jokes have featured in Readers Digest (2012), in the compilation book Funny Buggers (Penguin, 2011) and in a Zoo Weekly list of 101 best stand-up gags (June 2008).
Gavin's talents also include graphic design, web design, award-winning video editing/production and providing advice on all things technical when it comes to events.

You might also like to check out George Youngman - he's a dear friend and mentor of Gavin's (but strangely you never see them in the same place at the same time).
