Merrick Watts Comedian Speaker: Radio, TV and Corporate MC Legend
Event organisers who book Merrick Watts comedian speaker secure one of Australia’s most recognisable broadcasters and comedians. As one half of Merrick and Rosso, Merrick took Triple J drive to ratings highs. He was the first voice on the NOVA network. The duo built a cult television fan base with shows on Nine, Ten and the Comedy Channel. After more than 20 years on air, including stints on Triple M and 2Day FM, Merrick stepped away from radio in 2017 to pursue a new chapter.
As a solo performer, Merrick has carved out an entirely new course. He has taken on acting roles in The Hollowmen and Underbelly. He toured his first solo comedy show, Man of the House, in 2017. Merrick is a familiar face on Australian television too, appearing on Thank God You’re Here, The Project and Hughesy We Have a Problem. He has also performed regularly as a panellist on Network Ten’s Studio 10.
From Wine Touring to SAS Australia
In 2018, Merrick started Grapes of Mirth. It is a series of stand-up gigs touring a rotating cast of his comedian mates to wineries around the country for sell-out shows. He has since become a certified wine expert in his own right. In 2020, Merrick pushed himself through the real SAS selection process on Channel 7’s SAS Australia. He was one of just four recruits to complete the course. That experience later inspired Posca Hydrate, his own sports drink venture.
With over twenty-four million people in Australia, you would be hard-pressed to find one who doesn’t know this comedy veteran’s name. That makes Merrick a natural fit as an MC for corporate events, conferences and galas nationwide. He brings genuine warmth, quick wit and decades of broadcasting experience to every event he hosts. Consequently, organisations that book Merrick Watts comedian speaker can rely on a polished, professional host available across Australia. Read more about Merrick on Wikipedia.
