While hosting “drive” in Perth, Paul made his first TV appearance on the Perth Telethon panel live on
Channel 7. Paul produced and presented a national radio show for the Nova network “The P-Plate Debate”.
He got his second taste of national radio after spending fifteen months at Australia’s other primary
broadcaster, Austereo (where he hosted shows on 2DayFM and Triple M), during which time he also
hosted the famous “National Hot 30 Countdown”.
The opportunity to branch out in to stand-up comedy came when Paul
entered Triple J’s RAW comedy competition, making the final after only
three comedy appearances. After also becoming a finalist a few weeks
later in the Green Faces national comedy competition, Paul instantly
became a regular at comedy clubs all over Perth.
Paul moved back to
Sydney a few months later as a full-time stand-up comedian where he
supported some of Australia’s biggest comedy acts, including Tom Gleeson,
Greg Fleet, Julia Morris and Ahn Do. During this time he performed at
the Melbourne International Comedy Festival and the Sydney Cracker
Comedy Festival. In 2010 he performed his first live TV comedy spot on
Network Ten’s ‘Thursday Night Live’.
Whilst slogging it out in the comedy clubs by night, he began to pursue
his career as a voice-artist. Three years later and Paul is a regular
promo voice for two TV networks (Network Ten and ABC) and has
voiced TV and radio campaigns, corporate videos and animated
productions for some of the biggest brands and advertisers in the
country including Subway, Coca-Cola,
Sony, Optus and many more.
As an accomplished musician, he played
in an original rock band for four years on
the Sydney and east coast circuit, appearing
with the likes of Grinspoon and Lo-tel.
In addition to presenting in corporate
videos and television commercials, Paul is
also regularly booked as an MC for corporate events and functions
including the Sydney Local Business Awards, Fairfax Media and Virgin Mobile.
Paul’s TV career received a huge boost in early 2010 when he was asked to
join the Nine Network as the advertorial host for the ever-popular Kerri-Anne Kennerley Show. As a result
of this high level of exposure, demand for his wide range of talents has increased to the point where the
most often used app on his iPhone has changed from “Angry Birds” to his appointment calendar.
“Paul’s professional, yet
casual approach as
Master of Ceremonies
ensures that every
crowd takes an instant
liking to him. He has an
exceptional talent in
being able to read an
audience and react to
any situation instantly
giving him total control
of the audience.” Steve Loe -
