Australian Comedian & Actor, Matt Okine, began his career by becoming a national Triple J RAW finalist in 2004, at the age of 18, after only 3 previous gigs (those being the preliminary stages of the competition!).

He was a 2Day FM Comedy God finalist later that year, and in January 2005, Matt took out the Brisbane New Comic of the Year competition. In 2006, he was in “Show Us Your Roots” at the Canberra Theatre, and was also a part of the Melbourne International Comedy Festival’s ‘New Talent’ Showcase.

In late 2007, Matt performed on "Rove Live" after winning the Rove Live/Snickers Golden Nut Competition. He followed this with a sell-out show at the Melbourne Comedy Festival (2008) and was flown to Miami as part of NBC’s hit show, “Last Comic Standing”.

Most recently, Matt has appeared on Channel 7’s All Saints, Nickelodeon’s H20: Just Add Water, ABC2’s I Rock, and was a guest panelist on SBS’s “The Squiz”.

Matt is also co-writer and producer of the TV Pilot, Not Available.

With these achievements, along with several other TV and film acting appearances, Matt Okine is definitely one of Australia's rising comic talents.
