Joel Creasey

One of this year’s festival drawcards, Joel Creasey’s Hurricane doesn’t disappoint.

A whirlwind glimpse into the 24-year-old’s past 12 months, he reals off stories of pestering Cyndi Lauper, offending Jennifer Aniston and spending 6 weeks in the jungle with Marcia Brady. A unique style of quick-witted reality-comedy, Creasey’s delivery and engaging storytelling is more self-deprecating than it is self-congratulatory, opening up about a difficult break-up, the struggles of trying to make it in America and an almost-career-ending show in Hobart. With his recent television appearance thrusting him into the national spotlight, it’s his comedy that will keep him there for many years to come.
