A talented and enthusiastic performer, Kent is one of the most promising new comics on the Sydney stand-up comedy scene. With a background in theatre and advertising, Kent blasts his irreverent comedy out to the audience in a highly charged and animated manner.

Kent can be seen performing regularly around Sydney as a support and MC. Past gigs include the Woodford Folk Festival, The Great Northern in Byron Bay, and the Dockside in Brisbane. He has also toured regionally through country NSW.

In his travels, he has MC'd for and supported the likes of Wil Anderson, Anthony Mir, Garry Eck & Akmal Saleh.

Kent also co-runs two of Sydney's most respected open mic venues - the Friend in Hand Pub (Glebe) & The Kurrajong Hotel (Erskineville). He has a regular guest spot on the triple j radio breakfast show with Adam Spencer and Wil Anderson.

Kent will play any venue that will take a tall comic with outrageous side burns.
