One of Australia's funniest comedians — from a high school speech about wombat anxiety to touring the world with Arj Barker and Akmal Saleh
Joel Ozborn's first real taste for comedy came when he won his high school public speaking competition — not with a conventional speech on politics or the environment, but with a routine about the anxiety of wombats, which left both students and teachers in stitches. It was an early signal that Ozborn was not going to do things the expected way.
Since then, his comedy has taken him all over the world and on tour with popular comedians including Arj Barker and Akmal Saleh. Considered one of Australia's funniest and most exciting comedians, he also co-hosts the podcast Akmal and Joel with fellow comedian Akmal Saleh.
Ozborn suits audiences who want stand-up with a playful, offbeat sensibility — someone who finds the funny in the unexpected rather than the predictable. He is well suited to club nights, festival line-ups, and corporate events that want something a little different from the usual fare.

Professional, attentive, organised and very funny. He read the audience well, and kept close contact with me to ensure the smooth running of the event.Trippas White Group
Joel was very well liked with the Senior Leadership Team and the client. It was good for the team to sort of relax a little bit with keeping the formalities going. He was willing to meet the brief and everyone enjoyed themselves immensely. I'd say we would use him again for this type of corporate client again. Thank you.35 Degrees North
