Marty has been practicing comedy for over 50 years. A few years into his career he learnt to talk and soon after, took his hobby to school. Presented with the challenge of pursuing both academic excellence & comedic glory, he didn’t.

While his early material is still relevant today, it’s rarely been heard since he swore off baked beans.

Marty claims that when he did his first booked comedy spot, in 2009, it was to overcome his fear of public speaking, but that’s not entirely true. He’s always been happy to shout out uncalled-for comments from the back of the room. Marty’s ability to find something funny to say in most situations has led to countless invitations to shut up.

He has been diagnosed as a socially anxious extrovert, with a tendency to self-diagnose.

Like playing a sport or a musical instrument, comedy is both a passion and a craft. After nearly a decade of honing his comedy-writing and performing, Marty has a wealth of comedy material, but he’s also at home on stage enough to go where the moment takes him, or pull up a chair and read a book. He is comfortable in his own skin, having recently lost 6 kilos

Based in Sydney, Marty has performed at and emceed comedy nights from the Gold Coast to Wollongong and has had several one-man shows at The Sydney Fringe Festival and the Melbourne International Comedy Festival. Throughout his career, he has stayed true to himself. He has never sold out.

Marty’s comedy includes storytelling, wordplay, one liners, and whatever nonsense tickles his funnybone. His jokes are liable to end up anywhere, especially when he’s driving.
