Mort discovered stand-up at 30 and quickly conquered Melbourne's open mic scene. A two-time Raw state finalist, he's performed alongside household names at Adelaide and Sydney Fringe festivals and sold out his Melbourne Comedy Festival debut "Snake Eyes" this year. The Sunshine Coast native, now Melbourne-based, runs his own room while constantly honing his "verbal fuckery." His easy-going coastal drawl disarms audiences before hitting them with whimsical wordplay and nostalgic observations that find ridiculous in mundane, silly in serious. Cheerful and charming in a "trustworthy landscaper you wouldn't want marrying your daughter" way, Mort's style catches audiences off-guard.
