TROY KINNE - BIO

Troy is often recognised from his performance on ‘The Search for Australia’s Funniest Man’ DVD featured with FHM magazine in Jan 2006. Troy had been performing stand up comedy for less than a year prior to this performance and has since won almost every young comic competition in the country. Winning the  ‘You Gotta Be Joking’ competition at the Comic’s Lounge in Melbourne, saw Troy receive the prize of a trip to New York to attend the American Comedy Institute. After completing the course, Troy spent two months in New York and managed to perform comedy spots at world famous comedy clubs Caroline’s on Broadway, Stand Up New York , Gotham Comedy club and the Mohegan Sun Casino where he was the support act for Loni Love.

 

Since returning from New York, Troy has made guest appearances on Nova FM’s Hughsie & Kate, Vega FM’s Dicko, dave and Chrissy, Network Ten’s David & Kim, Foxtel’s Stand Up Australia, and worked for two years on MIX FM and GOLD FM in Melbourne as part of the ‘on air’ promotional street teams. During this time Troy performed different ‘on air’ roles such as Bachelor ‘The Troy’, Rocketman, the Time Keeper, Santa Clause, and interviewed Matt Lucas and David Williams – the cast of Little Britain.

 

As well as performing regularly at Comedy Clubs around the country, Troy has been requested as the comedy act at many Sportsman’s nights, Charity fund raisers, Corporate and Christmas functions. He has performed for workers at over 50 of Australia’s Mining Camps, and has recently returned from East Timor where he spent two weeks entertaining the Troops of Australia's Armed Defense Forces.

 

Troy is co-director of the company 100 Easy Street Productions  who have produced two TV Pilot episodes of Sketch Comedy Show – No Monkeys On Bikes, which they hope will make it to TV very soon. As well as writing and video production, 100 Easy Street   also produces the comedy team Ear Candy  made up of Troy, Tom Siegert, Monty Franklin and Dave Thornton. Ear Candy   have performed at fund raising nights at sporting clubs all over the country and are always available for hire.
