Sammy J

Sammy J is one of Australia's most surprising talents. Political, musical, a master wordsmith, and hilariously funny, his work has been recognised with multiple awards and award nominations.

A proud nerd, Sammy J ditched his law degree to pursue a career in comedy.

He is best known for his man/puppet comedy show Sammy J & Randy, which he has toured around Australia and internationally and which was also the basis of his ABC TV sitcom Sammy J & Randy in Ricketts Lane.

His debut novel, The Long Class Goodnight, is out now through Hardie Grant Publishing, and his most recent album, Symphony in J Minor, was released this year through ABC Music/Universal.

Sammy is well-known to ABC audiences, presenting his weekly satirical sketches on ABC TV each Thursday evening.
