Simon Kennedy has been one of Australia’s funniest and most reliable comedians for over 25 years. Simon has been a regular on The Morning Show (Channel 7) and Studio 10 (Network 10) with multiple appearances on The Project (Ch10), Today Show (Ch9), Joker Poker Series 1 & 2, and Stand Up Australia (Foxtel).
When the NOVA radio network launched in 2001 they very quickly appointed Simon to a national role adding an irreverent comedy edge to its sound - writing and lending hundreds of character voices to dozens of topical comedy segments every day, helping NOVA to #1 in multiple markets. For over 5 years Simon hosted the weekend shows “The Show With No Name” and “Kennedy & Philp" on Sydney’s Nova 96.9FM.
As an MC for 700 sales managers, keeping events inspired through comic cheek, or as a headline comedian in a comedy club, Simon Kennedy is an assured hit that leaves audiences wowed.
Simon’s voice never rests for long. As a 3 x Voice Arts Awards and Promax Award winner, Simon’s characters have been a regular feature across ABC TV. Disney, & Foxtel. Simon has also brought characters to life in Animated series, features and video games.
Besides comedy and voice acting Simon has a serious side. His memoir 9/11 AND THE ART OF HAPPINESS (a deeply personal story of losing his mother in the September 11 attacks) was released in 2014 and gained wide accolade.
Simon regularly speaks on the topics of resilience, letting go of bitterness, and of course the art of happiness. ‘This is so beautifully written, so heartfelt and more than anything, it has so many important messages contained within it’ - Adam Hills
