About

The bio

Joel Ozborn is an Australian stand-up comedian known for a physical, character-driven style that grew out of his early years as a street performer. He first found his comic voice winning a high-school public-speaking contest with a talk on the anxiety of wombats, then developed an offbeat brand of street comedy that earned him the 1998 “Street Performer Of The Year” award, presented by the Sydney Opera House on 2Day FM. Later that year he moved to the United States to work alongside comedian and magician The Amazing Johnathan, an apprenticeship that shaped his prop-savvy, high-energy approach to the stage.

Returning to Australia, Ozborn became a fixture of the national festival circuit, with regular seasons at the Melbourne International Comedy Festival, the Adelaide Fringe, the Sydney Comedy Festival and the Brisbane Comedy Festival, including sold-out runs and national theatre tours. He has shared bills and toured with leading Australian and international acts, among them Akmal Saleh and Arj Barker, and has headlined comedy clubs around the country.

His career has also taken him well beyond Australia, with performances across South East Asia, the United States and Las Vegas. Ozborn co-hosts the comedy podcast ‘Akmal & Joel’ with Akmal Saleh, and continues to tour theatres and clubs both locally and overseas.
