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.

As you can imagine, a business awards ceremony can sometimes be a bit dry, however as a host, Joel Ozborn’s comedic wit, enthusiasm and fresh jokes meant our guests were in stitches all night long, while also staying focused on the proceedings of the evening. His ability to think quickly on his feet was tested when an impromptu charity auction was sprung on us. In literally a minute, Joel transformed from MC to auctioneer. His professionalism, adaptability and ability to work under pressure have been a blessing to us all, which has made working with Joel a delight. Cumberland and Courier Newspapers
People were rocking backwards and forwards, holding their stomachs and letting out shouts of laughter. The Advertiser
He’s disarming; he’s accessible without being common, articulate and clever without being smug … bloody funny. The Age
His flair for improvisation left the crowd in stitches. The Program
Joel Ozborn created a great fun atmosphere. Overall we had a great corporate night with our sales and marketing teams. Having an HR brief that afternoon we were a little anxious, however Joel delivered a great fun performance that had our HR manager, and the sales and marketing teams in stitches. Virbac Animal Health
Joel was great, very entertaining especially with a difficult to please guests. He definitely won over a tough crowd of older male dealers. He was great in engaging the audience and it was a definite value-add that he went around the room and spoke to as many of the guests as he could. We would definitely recommend him and would absolutely use him for another event! Toyota

Joel was a pleasure to work with and was very accommodating in his time to meet virtually to prepare with us before his shows. Joel was very professional and engaging to our needs. He was very enthusiastic, keen and also did his research on our company, even writing a song about PwC. He is very humorous and had us in laughter, while making it very entertaining. Thanks for the laughs Joel. PWC
We recently had Joel perform at our Christmas Party and he was fantastic. He was the most-talked about and enjoyed part of the Christmas Party and had everyone in stitches. His ability to act in the moment and adjust his performance to suit the circumstances whilst remaining professional was astounding. I would definitely recommend Joel for any corporate function.

Joel was absolutely fantastic yesterday! His set was perfect for our hybrid event, he was able to engage with both people in the room as well as online seamlessly. I would not hesitate to work with Joel again – he was so professional and an absolute pleasure to work with. Thank you for helping us end 2020 on a high! KPMG
Just wanted to say a big thank you for Joel yesterday- he was amazing. He certainly met the brief for what we were hoping to achieve in adding some humour to our online launch and that extra touch to make the event a bit more unique. He was a pleasure to work with, nothing seemed to difficult and was flexible with rehearsals etc. Konica Minolta
Joel’s comedy act was very entertaining! Joel was great in engaging the audience, he read the group very well and ensured that the content was appropriate and humorous. Would highly recommend him and have him perform again. CPA Australia
That was so much fun and I’ve already had a number of people message me and say how much they enjoyed Joel - I quote - “One of the best Iress sessions ever!” Awesome job. Great to work with Joel on this. Iress
