Jeff Hewitt is a comedian, writer, actor and MC. He won the Golden Gavel in WA 2 years in a row (2006-2007), became the WA state champion of Australia’s premier stand-up comedy competition, Raw Comedy, in 2006 (going on to perform at the national final in the prestigious Melbourne Town Hall as part of the Melbourne International Comedy Festival, and broadcast on ABC national television), gave the keynote speech at the High Court Dinner in Perth in 2006 (on the invitation of the Law Society of WA), and performed his critically acclaimed one-man show Reacharounds for the Soul at the 2008 Wild West Comedy Festival and 2009 Melbourne International Comedy Festival. Witty, subversive and creative, Jeff’s activities and projects include stand-up comedy, MCing and public speaking, theatre, and film.

What people are saying about

“Reacharounds is funny, but more than that, it is really moving, and it asks you to think about who or what is important to you, and the fragility of those relationships…The balance of comedy and tragedy is just about right here, making this a truly interesting performance.”
Arts Hub

“Possessing the ability to captivate his audience with a down-to-earth attitude and his genuine words of experience, Hewitt’s show has a bit of everything, making it a rewarding and moving experience…Jeff Hewitt’s refreshing take on such a serious topic is brave, funny, original and enjoyable.”
The Pun

“Some of his stories often seemed unlikely to lead to a humorous punchline, but his way of weaving just the right amount of lightness into the tales made them palatable…Jeff did a great job in exploring a difficult and serious subject to make it accessible and humorous.”
The Groggy Squirrel

“A hilarious insight into depression.”
Xavier Michelides

“The highlight of the night.”
