Randy

Randy began performing stand up comedy in 2005 and has rapidly carved out a purple, felty niche on the world comedy stage.

Since beginning his comedy career in Melbourne, Australia, Randy Feltface has written and performed eight solo stand-up comedy shows, released three comedy specials, played sold out seasons in London and New York and been nominated for Best Comedy at the Edinburgh Fringe Festival. He made his US television debut on NBC’s Bring The Funny in 2019 and has been invited to perform at the Just For Laughs Comedy Festival in Montreal on four separate occasions.

He debuted his solo show Randy’s Postcards From Purgatory in 2009 to critical acclaim, selling out seasons at the Melbourne International Comedy Festival and the Edinburgh Fringe Festival. In 2010 Randy joined forces with musical comedian Sammy J to create Ricketts Lane, which won Best Show at the Melbourne International Comedy Festival and went on to become a television series of the same name, airing in 2015 on ABC TV in Australia, Seeso in the US and Netflix in the UK. Randy’s role in Sammy J & Randy in Ricketts Lane earned him an AACTA Award nomination for best performer in a comedy series, the first non-human performer to be recognised in this category. He opened his most recent show Modus Operandy at the Sydney Opera House as part of the 2019 Just For Laughs Festival before shows in London, Amsterdam and an extensive North American tour, and somehow still found time to play squash every Thursday evening in Moorabbin. Randy’s live show is a high energy existential crisis, full of biting observations, razor sharp crowd work and rapid arm movements.

Randy has maintained a strong solo career throughout, popping up in comedy rooms from Tasmania to Galway, appearing at music festivals in Australia like Falls Fest and Harvest, featuring as a panelist on Good News Week and touring extensively in Australia and South East Asia with the Melbourne International Comedy Festival Roadshow.
