About
Diving into the world of stand-up at the tender age of 30, Mort quickly
found his proverbial sea legs in the tumultuous waters of Melbournes
open mic comedy scene and has been hooked since he landed his first laugh.
The two-time Raw state finalist has quickly made a mark on the Melbourne scene, performing alongside household names in Victoria and at Adelaide and Sydney Fringe festivals, selling out several shows at his Melbourne comedy festival debut ‘Snake Eyes’ this year, running his own room, hosting and just getting up whenever the opportunity presents itself, honing his unique take on the art of verbal fuckery.
Disarming you with a somewhat easy going delivery and coastal drawl
attributed to his Sunshine Coast upbringing, the now Melbourne based
comic manages to find the ridiculous in the mundane and the silly in the serious, doing so with a disposition that is cheerful, considered and even charming, in a “let him know where the spare house key is because he’s trustworthy and a good landscaper but I wouldn’t want him to marry my daughter” kind of way.
Littered with whimsical verbiage and a penchant for nostalgia, Mort's
comedic style will no doubt catch you off guard and get you on board
tout de suite.
