Hosted the 2014 revival of the TV music quiz show Spicks and Specks on the ABC after previously appearing as a guest panellist. He's a long-time comedy writer, contributing to The Project. Creator and host of the comedy podcast Don't You Know Who I Am?, which has accumulated more than four million downloads and featured major comedians including James Acaster, Hannah Gadsby and Ronny Chieng.
