About Me

My name is Jonathon Bennett and I have been doing mediocre to not bad (some bits are ok) stand-up comedy, television shows, radio, comedy writing, and comics for nigh on 7 years now. I have performed all around this great land and internationally to Students in Germany who didn't speak much English, but thought I resembled a hobbit. I have performed on the telly box. I enjoy patting animals and planting trees.
I have competed with a large amount of success in many comedy competitions around Australia including Triple J’s Raw Comedy, Green Faces and Laughing Gas. I have hosted and performed at many a function including the 2006 Falls Festival and Stephen Brikowski’s Bar Mitzvah. I have been awarded National Awards for my TV and Radio Shows. While also winning a colouring competition in Sydney and my picture of Buzz Lightyear was stuck on the window of Coles.
Since late 2005 I have been writing and acting for sketch television show The Ugly Stick, now in its third season, The Ugly Stick has received fantastic response from both the general public and the press receiving 8 nominations in the National Antenna Awards 2006 receiving 3 awards including Best Comedy. My Radio Show of the same name also won the SYN Award for Best Comedy.
While working on The Ugly Stick and presenting on SYN radio, I wrote, acted and hosted the RMITV production's of Barnaby Flowers Comeback Special (2007 Antenna Award for best LIVE comedy show and chosen to appear in the 50 Years of Television Exhibition), A Time To Talk, and Bumper Bonanza. These shows were widely received, had a great following and always performed well at the top of the C31 ratings.
I have performed with great success to extremely diverse audiences, from Corporate Events and Football Clubs to High Schools and Universities. In 2006/2007 I was selected to perform at the internationally acclaimed Falls Festival, where I performed stand-up and MCed for world famous bands such as Modest Mouse, Wolfmother, Michael Franti and many others.
Please check out my clips and videos that I have written and performed in from my TV shows. Hopefully you'll laugh til you spew... Or just laugh.
I love dogs and I love you
Dogs have wet tongues and you do too
I like it when a dogs licks me
I dont like it when Im bit by a bee
I can call my dog a bitch and she doesnt mind
You call me a bitch when you smack my behind
My dog doesnt smack me
It just shakes hands
My dog begs and never makes demands
I love dogs and I love you
But at least I dont have to pick up your poo
My dog is like Kimmy Gibbler from Full House

My Interests

I'd like to meet:


I once patted a monkey - it was ok. He urinated on himself - I don't think monkeys are as smart as we make them out to be. Even Monkey Magic wasn't that smart - doesn't really take brains to blow on your fingers to make your magic cloud come. Monkeys do cover their eyes and do rasberrys with their mouths - which is very comical - you just can't write jokes like that.
