LUKE MCGREGOR

Luke McGregor is a writer, actor, and one of Australia's favourite comedians. His comedy career began in Tasmania in 2007 when he entered the RAW Comedy competition after one of the contestants didn't show up. The following year he was selected as a RAW Comedy national finalist.

In 2013 Luke's first solo Melbourne International Comedy Festival Show 'My Soul Mate Is Out Of My League' played to sold-out rooms and won the prestigious Best Newcomer Award. He then went on to perform a hugely successful season at London's Soho Theatre.

Luke performed in the feature films Now Add Honey and Border Protection Squad in which he co-starred alongside Peter Helliar, Ryan Shelton, Dave Hughes and Lachy Hulme. On television, he has had regular roles on Utopia (ABC) and Legally Brown (SBS) and appeared on Time Of Our Lives (ABC1), Josh Thomas' Please Like Me(ABC/Pivot), and the telemovie Scumbus. His 'ginger wonderland' date with Sibylla Budd in It's A Date (ABC1) stole the show, and he garnered cult figure status amongst the celebrities lucky enough to be interviewed by him on Dirty Laundry (ABC2). Luke has also appeared on True Story with Hamish & Andy, The Project as a correspondent, This Week Live, Spicks & Specks and the web series Noirhouse.

Luke performed his solo show 'I Worry That I Worry Too Much' at the 2014 Melbourne International Comedy Festival. Luke had no need for undue 'worry' as he was moved to a bigger venue during the festival. Two thumbs up Mr. McGregor! Immediately after the MICF, Luke took the show to the Sydney Comedy Festival and was awarded Best Newcomer 2014, another outstanding festival season. He went on to perform his debut season at the Edinburgh Festival and a return season at the Soho Theatre in London.

In 2015 he performed a return season of three sold-out shows at the Comedy Theatre in Melbourne. Luke kicked off 2017 with sell-out seasons of his brand-new solo show 'Almost Fixed It' in Adelaide, Brisbane, and Melbourne, and in 2018, Luke performed a return season of the sold-out smash-hit show at the Melbourne International Comedy Festival.

In 2016 Luke presented Luke Warm Sex (ABC), a show that took an embarrassingly honest and humorous look at all things 'sex'. Luke is the co-creator, co-writer, and star of the smash hit sitcom Rosehaven with Celia Pacquola for ABC TV, for which Luke which won the award for Most Popular Actor at the 2019 TV Week Logie Awards. The third season of Rosehaven aired on the ABC in 2019.
