TIM SMITH Comedy with power is what this man is! Tim has successfully traversed the comedy world, leaping from sell out shows at the Melbourne International Comedy Festival to hosting top rating radio breakfast shows to appearing on television shows such as 20 to 1. The last couple of years saw Tim co-hosting MIX 101 FM’s breakfast show Tracy and Tim for Breakfast and his full time involvement from 1993 to 2005 with Triple M established Tim as one of the mainstays on FM radio. Tim has a strong history in radio and over the past 15 years has been involved in no.1 rating shows such as The Richard Stubbs Breakfast Show and Timbo & Bedder’s. He created and co-hosted The Cage for the drive and breakfast shifts on Triple M and created the Saturday morning show The Dead Set Legends. His vitality and reliability to please any crowd, any time, led him to being one of the original creative forces behind Channel Ten's legendary Comedy Company, the television show which more than any other raised mass public awareness of new wave comedy. Just to add another talent to his repertoire, Tim recently became a pilot, flying around the country solo in between his performing commitments.
