Cam Knight

Cam started his journey as a performer at a very young age. By 12 he was performing in his school's production of 'Oliver'. He convincingly played a 70 something year old Jewish man (Fagin) with ease and from there he was hooked.

After studying acting in Adelaide, S.A. he moved to Melbourne to pursue a career. After some time spent in Melbourne he somehow 'fell into' doing stand up comedy and improvised comedy which helped land him a support cast role in the Ch 7 sketch show 'Big Bite'.

He also appeared on 'Blue Heelers' twice as the same character, the late Linda Gibson played his Mum. Not only that, he has also appeared on 'Stingers' and has done various commercials to pay the bills. He also starred in a 15 minute short film called 'What's The Matter?" which has been shown at the L.A. Short Film Fest, Flickerfest in Sydney and also the St Kilda Short Film.

Cam is currently working for The Comedy Channel for the as a presenter. This all came about in 2002 when he hosted a show on Fox 8 called 'Chain Reaction' with Meake Bucken and this showed the powers that be that Cam was indeed good! They hired him for a pretty nasty gong show called "We'll Call You" which was shot at Sydney's Comedy Store. Since then he's filmed various projects including the second series of "Hit & Run" a show where comedians were put into a fish out of water situation and made to write new material about it and perform it at the Comedy Store.

He's also performed for "The World Comedy Tour 2005", "Cam & Charlie's Guide to the Melb Fest", "Thank Comedy It's Friday", "How to Shoot a Short Film" (again teaming up with Charlie Pickering, and the more recently he's moved to Sydney and is hosting "Stand Up Australia" a new stand up show which showcases some of the best local and international acts around.

He's interviewed some of the best comics in the world during the Melbourne Comedy Festival from Demetri Martin to Mike Wilmot to Stephen K Amos and even Wil Ferrel. Cam continues to do stand up around Australia and loves every minute of it.
