Joel is a multitalented performer – as a comic and an actor, Joel has skyrocketed onto stages and screens worldwide since his first solo tour at the age of 19. It was here he earned a Best Newcomer nomination at the Melbourne International Comedy Festival. He has since gone on to perform on several sell out tours.

2020 saw Joel take on his first theatre show with ‘The Boy, George’; a one-man show co-written and performed by Joel. The play was featured in the Midsumma Festival in Melbourne and is set to tour in 2022. Joel’s Netflix stand up special ‘Thirsty’ and his Amazon Prime stand up show ‘Fame Whore’ were launched in 2020.  Joel has become a constant performer on commercial networks and streaming platforms. He frequents Network Ten’s The Project, and for the past four years he has hosted the SBS television broadcast of the Sydney Gay and Lesbian Mardi Gras parade.

In 2017, Joel debuted in his first acting role alongside Magda Szubanski, Lucy Durack and Catherine McClements in Channel 10’s new Comedy Drama ‘Sisters’. He also made his soap star debut on ‘Neighbours’. Joel also hosted Sydney’s ‘Comedy Cracker Festival 2017’ for Foxtel, and Network Ten’s ‘Just For Laughs’ specials, highlighting the best of the Just For Laughs Comedy Festival in Montreal, where he has worked alongside such icons as Neil Patrick Harris, Sir Patrick Stewart, Jane Lynch, Ellie Kemper, Carrie Fisher, Alan Carr, Jeff Goldblum and Alan Cumming. Joel won Best Presenter for 2017 at the LGBTI Awards and became an Ambassador to Sky Vodka’s #CheerstoEquality campaign.

2018 saw Joel host ‘Take Me Out’ on Network Seven. Joel led his team to victory on the first season of Channel Ten’s comedy series, ‘Show Me The Movie!’ and was recommissioned for a second series that also aired in early 2019. Joel has penned and published his first memoir through Simon & Schuster, “THIRSTY: Confessions of a Fame Whore”, which he has dedicated to the late Joan Rivers, who he had been the support act for earlier in his career.
