He is one Australia’s youngest, brightest, and most sought-after comedians. Appearing seemingly out of nowhere at the Melbourne International Comedy Festival in 2010, Joel quickly became the talk of the town with his debut – ultimately earning him a nomination for the prestigious Best Newcomer Award; at just 19 years of age, Joel was one of the youngest ever nominees. Since then, Joel has toured the country performing solo as well as with the prestigious Melbourne International Comedy Festival Roadshow, alongside a selection of Australia’s best comedians. In a short time Joel has built a cult following that is rapidly growing into the wider comedy community. People everywhere falling in love with his intelligent observations, acerbic style and pop-culture expertise.
