Corporate comedian, hoaxer, and MC with 20+ years in stand-up and sales — clients from Toyota to KPMG
David Lennie is a stand-up comedian, writer, and MC who brings more than 20 years of experience across sales, theatre, and comedy to the corporate stage. His television appearances include Tonight Live with Steve Vizard, The Midday Show, and Headliners, and he has performed support slots for international artists including Shirley MacLaine. On radio, he has created comedy for Triple M Perth's Breakfast Show and written and performed for ABC Radio National and PMFM Perth, with material broadcast nationally on Triple M Sydney and SAFM. He is also a published author of four children's books with Collins/Angus & Robertson and Fremantle Arts Press.
Lennie's writing credentials are extensive — he contributed to the second series of Full Frontal and has written and performed on Today Tonight and Brooksy's Football Show on Channel 7 Perth. His particular skill is research-driven comedy: he works to understand an industry, an audience, and an organisation before he arrives, which means his material is specific and pointed rather than generic. That research habit is what allows him to work as a corporate hoaxer — a format that requires intimate knowledge of a client's culture and sector.
His corporate client list includes Toyota, Alcoa, Woolworths, Kenwood, GMH, Dulux, AMP, Uncle Toby's, Coca-Cola, and KPMG. Lennie is the right choice for event organisers who need clean, clever humour that lands without risk — as a keynote comedian, as MC, or as a hoaxer embedded in a conference or gala dinner format.
