Sammy J the much loved Australian comedian and political satirist who is kicking off his Australian tour of “Good Hustle” at Melbourne Comedy Festival this March joins Timmy for a chat about the show and all things Sammy J.

The show will then travel to Sydney, Brisbane, Perth and Canberra before finishing in Hobart. “Good Hustle” will play at the Forum downstairs and opens on March 30th. After five years, 200 episodes and countless legal threats Sammy J is stepping away from his weekly ABC TV spot – but not before throwing a giant farewell party.

“Good Hustle” is a farewell to Government Coach, Playground Politics, National Yoga, bush poet SJ Paterson, Hookturnistan and more. Sammy J is a comedian, writer, composer and broadcaster. He’s played in Edinburgh, Montreal and London; had a sitcom on Netflix; is one half of the man/puppet comedy duo Sammy J & Randy and currently hosts the breakfast show on ABC Radio Melbourne. His debut book, The Long Class Goodnight, is out now through Hardie Grant and his ARIA-nominated show Symphony in J Minor is streaming on Paramount+. Sammy is undoubtedly once of Australia’s finest satirists and comedians as well as being possibly the nicest bloke in the biz. 

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 recent nominations for Best Comedy at the AACTA awards and Best Comedy Release at the ARIA awards.

A proud nerd, Sammy J ditched his law degree to pursue a career in comedy. He’s since played in Edinburgh, Montreal and London; had a sitcom on Netflix; is one half of the man/puppet comedy duo ‘Sammy J & Randy’; and has appeared each week on ABC TV in a variety of satirical sketches including “Playground Politics” and “National Yoga”. His debut novel, The Long Class Goodnight, is out now through Hardie Grant Publishing, and his ARIA-nominated show “Symphony in J Minor” is streaming on Paramount+. He is currently the host of ABC Radio Melbourne’s Breakfast show.
