Sammy J & Randy

Winner - Barry Award for Best Show of Melbourne International Comedy Festival 2010

Nominee - Best Comedy for Adelaide Fringe 2012

In 2010 Sammy J and Randy won Australia’s most coveted comedy award, The Barry for their one-man/one-puppet show, Sammy J and Randy in Ricketts Lane.

In 2011 they wowed Australian audiences with their second instalment Sammy J and Randy in Bin Night.

Combining catchy songs with chaotic tomfoolery and outbursts of filth, these two adorable characters have an uncanny knack of charming the pants off everyone they meet.

Sammy J and Randy’s first collaboration was the stunning Sammy J in the Forest of Dreams. The show won them The Age Critics’ Award at the 2008 Melbourne Comedy Festival and went on to sell out seasons across Australia and the UK.

Debuting their current work and fourth collaboration together, The Inheritance, at Adelaide Fringe. Our favourite duo are continuing to entertain their Australian & International audiences. 

They have played to sold out houses at The Sydney Opera House, closed the Montreal Just For Laughs Comedy Gala and sold out their Edinburgh Fringe Seaons.

2012 has already seen them smash box office records for their show The Inheritance, release their debut DVD - Bin Night, and hosted the the Melbourne International Comedy Festival's Opening Night TV Gala

If you haven’t yet fallen for the skinny guy and his purple puppet buddy – now is the time!
