In 2012, John Peacock was carpet cleaner of the year. Now he’s a middle aged man with a bee in his bonnet and several mental health issues. Cleaning carpets provides John with a lot of time alone with his wand to consider the World. It’s not perfect (the World that is) but he has a plan. A deep thinker with social anxiety and middle age spread. He might also be gluten intolerant. Aged 47, John Peacock worked out what he wanted to do when he grew up. Unfortunately he is yet to grow up and remains largely unfulfilled. A bit of a late bloomer, he’s blooming hilarious, coming into his own as one of the bright, young, things (yeah righto shut up) of Northern Rivers Comedy. He’s supported the likes of Akmal, Mel Buttle and Jimeoin. He recently opened for Austen Tayshus in what many are calling a pivotal moment in Austen’s career. He’s also watched a lot of very funny people on You Tube. Founder of The Comedy Commune and promoter of sell out gigs locally and interstate, John is a modern day man for all seasons. Except Summer which he finds a bit hot and sweaty.
