Joe Daymond

"Joe Daymond is the next big thing" – The Spinoff NZ

“Don’t forget Joe Daymond’s name. If you don’t already know his work as an actor and comedian, you soon will” - Stuff NZ

A star in his native New Zealand, Joe Daymond has recently moved to our shores and destined to follow in the footsteps of Russell Crowe, pavlova and Crowded House – something beloved by Australians that we’ll unsuccessfully try and claim as our own.

Joe exploded on to the comedy scene in 2020 winning the Best Breakthrough Act at the New Zealand Comedy Guild Awards and being the youngest person ever to sell out Auckland’s prestigious SkyCity Theatre – Not just once, but twice.

His audience online continues to grow exponentially, with over 200,000 followers and his hilarious stand up clips and sketches garnering ten’s of millions of views.

Joe has performed at the Sydney Opera House as part of Just for Laughs Australia, as well as appearing as a guest on TV shows such as Have You Been Paying Attention NZ, 7 Days and Celebrity Treasure Island.

He is the creator, star and director of the Comedy Central series, Bouncers, which saw him nominated for Television Personality of the Year at the 2023 New Zealand Television Awards. Joe was also a co-writer on Comedy Central’s first ever Polynesian comedy series, SIS.

Joe has also started to make strides in the US, becoming the second Kiwi ever to perform in the Main Room at the world famous Hollywood Comedy Store, being invited by comedian Noel Miller to open for him on his US national tour, and  supporting the like Bill Burr and Theo Von both in the US and around New Zealand.

Since moving to Australia at the start of 2024, Joe has sold out shows faster than he’s been able to unpack his bags. Performing in Sydney, Brisbane, Perth, Melbourne and the Gold Coast to massive houses.
