Sam Simmons (comedian)
Sam Simmons (born 1977 or 1978) is an Australian comedian, actor, and radio and TV presenter. He has toured extensively with his stand-up shows, as well as many appearances on TV in Australia, the US, and the UK. He has won and been nominated for many awards, and won the Helpmann Award for Best Comedy Performer in 2014.
Sam Simmons was born in 1977 or 1978 in Adelaide, South Australia.
He was raised in Adelaide by a single working mother, and has hinted in his shows that he was somewhat neglected as a child. His best friend described his childhood as "troubled". Going through a tough time as a 13-year-old, he attempted suicide.
He watched a lot of The Goodies, Monkey, and Benny Hill as a child, and says was also very influenced by John Cleese's character in Fawlty Towers, Basil Fawlty: "Rage and silliness combined. What a mix!".
Simmons' first performed comedy in 2001, at a benefit show for a friend whose handbag had been stolen. Performing as a duo with another young man, they presented Smutty and Pert, like Ernie and Bert (from Sesame Street). Later, working at Greasy Joe's in St Kilda, he would perform for the patrons of the café, who were a diverse audience.
He then began to perform in comedy rooms, "just doing my own thing", which was not stand-up, according to Simmons. Janet McLeod gave him a contract to perform for two months at her Local Laughs night.
In 2003, he presented The Steve Promise Story at the Melbourne International Comedy Festival (MICF).
He performed at TEDxSydney in 2014. In the same year, he developed and performed his show Death of a Sails-Man, which one reviewer described as "an extremely quirky one-man monologue... a man live on stage having a breakdown, singing, reflecting and joking with his sub-conscious".
