Book Merrick Watts Comedian: Radio, TV and Corporate MC Legend
Event organisers who book Merrick Watts comedian secure one of Australia’s most recognisable broadcasters and comedians. As one half of Merrick Watts and Rosso, Merrick took Triple J drive to ratings highs, was the first voice on the NOVA network, and built a cult television fan base with shows on Nine, Ten and the Comedy Channel. Still a regular on radio, Merrick has hosted his own drive show on Triple M Sydney and can be heard regularly on stations across the country, including frequent appearances on 2GB.
As a solo performer, Merrick has carved out an entirely new course, taking on acting roles in The Hollowmen and Underbelly, and touring his first solo comedy show, Man of the House, in 2017. He is a familiar face on Australian television, appearing on Thank God You’re Here, The Project and Hughesy We Have a Problem, and performing regularly as a panellist on Network Ten’s Studio 10. Merrick also started a series of stand-up gigs called Grapes of Mirth in 2018, touring a rotating cast of his stand-up comedian mates to wineries around the country for acclaimed sell-out shows.
In 2020, Merrick undertook a physically and psychologically demanding training course as part of his appearance on Channel 7’s SAS Australia, pushing himself through a series of tests drawn from the real SAS selection process on the record-breaking show. With over twenty-four million people in Australia, you would be hard-pressed to find one who doesn’t know this radio veteran’s name, making Merrick a natural fit as an MC for corporate events, conferences and galas nationwide.
Merrick brings genuine warmth, quick wit and decades of live broadcasting experience to every event he hosts, effortlessly connecting with audiences of any size. Based in Sydney, Merrick is available to MC and perform at corporate events across Australia.
