lehmo

Lehmo has headlined comedy clubs for over fifteen years, captivating audiences across the USA, UK, Ireland, South Africa, Singapore, Malaysia, Hong Kong, and Thailand. He consistently delivered sell-out seasons at prestigious events including the Melbourne International Comedy Festival (1999, 2002, 2003, 2004, 2005), the Adelaide Fringe Festival (2000, 2002, 2004), and the Edinburgh Fringe Festival (1996, 1997). He completed seven ‘tours of duty,’ performing for Australian troops in East Timor, Iraq, Kuwait, UAE, Afghanistan, Egypt, Qatar, and on naval ships. A testament to his rapid-fire wit, Lehmo achieved the Guinness World Record for the most jokes told in an hour with 549 jokes in May 2005, a record later reassigned in April 2014.

In film, he appeared in ‘Offside’ (2009), ‘Any Questions For Ben?’, and ‘That’s Not My Dog!’. Lehmo has also leveraged his profile for brand partnerships, fronting campaigns for the Australian International Motor Show in 2007 and the iSnack 2.0 Vegemite spread, beginning September 2009. In July 2020, Lehmo returned to SAFM to co-host breakfast with Rebecca Morse and Andrew Costello ‘Cosi.’ Further demonstrating his enduring appeal, he appeared in Channel 7’s ‘The Big Trip’ in 2024 and is slated to appear as a contestant on ‘Claire Hooper’s House Of Games’ in 2025.
