Justin Hamilton has carved out an incredibly successful career as a stand up comedian and writer while maintaining his unique voice within the Australian Comedy scene.

A regular guest on television and radio has seen Justin expand his popularity and following.  Whether it is as co-host of Triple M’s weekend breakfast team Toast alongside Charlie Pickering and Terri Psiakis which Justin did up until 2009, or regular movie reviewer for Perth’s number one rated Mix FM, he has brandished a unique voice in the radio landscape.

Not content with standing still, Justin has allowed his desire to push the boundaries take their full flight at the Melbourne Comedy Festival and beyond.  In 2009 year he wrote and starred in “Goodbye Ruby Tuesday” a play that Aussie Theatre Review stated was “…intelligent and surprising storytelling” while the UK based site Chortle claimed it was a “…touching story as warm as it is witty, building delicately to a satisfyingly uplifting conclusion.”

Justin has not only sold out numerous solo seasons at the Adelaide Fringe and the Melbourne Comedy Festival but also won awards and nominations to go along with them.  He won the 2007 Melbourne Comedy Festival Director’s Award for his show “Three Colours Hammo”, a show that also won the Adelaide Advertiser’s best show award at the 2008 Adelaide Fringe.  His 2008 stand up comedy show “The Killing Joke” was nominated for best show at the Melbourne Comedy Festival that year.


He has toured Australia as part of the Melbourne Comedy Festival Roadshow from 2002 to 2008, taking the last year off to concentrate on radio.  He has also supported Wil Anderson on his national tours from 2006-2010.

tartartartartar An unforgettable performance… his jokes are intelligent, witty and very entertaining. You should not miss this. Absolute stand out.” Adelaide Advertiser 2008

"Hamilton's style is easygoing, conversational and he is genuinely funny.tartartartar" Adelaide Advertiser, 2006

"Frankly, it's a mystery that this local fella isn't stalking bigger stages and commanding a more monumental wage. He's filthy but sensitive - the kind of delicate lout with whom one would love to knock about. See this reconstructed yob before his tickets cost a whole lot more." The Age, 2006  

"A fluent and unique delivery coupled with delicate material makes this a special hour" The Age 2005
