Greg Fleet is one of Australia's most experienced and popular stand up comics.
As a NIDA trained actor Fleety made the plunge in 1987, starting out as a sit down comic (he was too nervous to stand) at the Prince Patrick Hotel in Melbourne.
Since then he has made a name for himself as a consummate performer and writer who merges theatricality and comedy in a way that has put him at the forefront of his craft internationally.
In 2002 Greg co-hosted breakfast on SA-FM in Adelaide, and in 2003 he co-hosted 2Day FM breakfast in Sydney with Wendy Harmer.
"Subtle, Succinct and Surreal"
"exceptionally funny... the audience was spellbound throughout" (The Scotsman)
"hilarious, hard hitting... hug this man today" (The List, Glasgow)
"A wild, great show" (Herald Sun, Melbourne)
"Devilish, menacing and totally mesmerising" (The Scotsman)
"Greg Fleet is brilliant … inspired nonsense - utterly fresh, utterly hilarious"
(The Scotsman)
"The fastest thinking stand up around" (The Sunday Times, London)
"In one hour he succeeds in dragging us to extremes of laughter, embarrassment and pity, but mainly laughter, as he takes us on the emotional roller-coaster journey of our lives. He deserves to be massive." (The Independent, London)
