Jonas
Holt began his standup comedy career in 1995 in Perth, Western
Australia.
Jonas'
first standup act at The Laugh Resort, Perth (1995)
After
winning an impersonation contest 13 times on PMFM 92.9's 'Who
Do You Do' segment on breakfast radio, Jonas Holt took his act
to The 'Full Frontal On Rotto' Comedy Competition, hosted
by Julia Morris and Shaun Micallef. He won by resounding audience
vote. After appearing on Hey Hey It's Saturday's
Red Faces, he moved to Sydney where he began acting courses
and opera tenor singing lessons.
He started hosting kids' parties and was the toast of backyards
in suburbs everywhere.
By 1998, Jonas was supporting some of Australia's best comedians
regularly all over Sydney.
Then in '99, he brought guitar parodies to the stage adding
another level of comedic energy.
In
2000, Jonas was a headline act at Sydney's Comedy Store and
was performing up to six comedy shows a week at venues in
Sydney and Melbourne.
Now, Jonas Holt has performed all over Australia, appeared
on TV and radio, run standup comedy clubs, has launched a
second line of bumper stickers and is hosting and promoting
comedy shows; on top of his many kids' shows!
Currently,
Jonas is cracking up audiences as a Tony Abbott Impersonator which has
become popular on many social media platforms, between performing shows on cruise ships.
