Anthony Lehmann, known professionally as Lehmo, was born on August 20, 1969, in Peebinga, South Australia. His early career began as a chartered accountant, a path he eventually left to pursue comedy. He quickly established himself in the Australian comedy scene, headlining clubs for over fifteen years and performing globally in locations such as the USA, UK, Ireland, South Africa, Singapore, Malaysia, Hong Kong, and Thailand. Lehmo has also undertaken seven ‘tours of duty,’ performing for Australian troops in East Timor, Iraq, Kuwait, UAE, Afghanistan, Egypt, Qatar, and on naval ships.
His extensive career includes notable successes in radio, television, and film. In radio, Lehmo co-hosted the SAFM breakfast show in Adelaide starting in 2003. He later moved to Melbourne, joining Brigitte Duclos on Mix 101.1 in 2010 to host ‘Mix Mornings,’ followed by ‘Brig & Lehmo for Breakfast’ on Gold 104.3 from 2011 to 2015. He continued to co-host the ‘Jo & Lehmo Breakfast Show’ on Gold 104.3, which achieved the #1 breakfast show rating in Melbourne before its conclusion in 2017. In television, he played ‘Jim’ in ABC TV’s award-winning ‘Utopia’ and has been a frequent panelist on shows like Network Ten’s ‘The Project’ and ‘Have You Been Paying Attention?’. He also hosted ABC’s coverage of the 2018 Invictus Games and the 2019 Australian of the Year announcement.
Beyond his comedic performances, Lehmo has been involved in several significant milestones, including holding the Guinness World Record for the most jokes told in an hour with 549 jokes in May 2005, a record later reassigned. He has appeared in films such as ‘Offside’ (2009), ‘Any Questions For Ben?’, and ‘That’s Not My Dog!’. Lehmo’s diverse career demonstrates his adaptability and sustained relevance across various media. He married television producer Kelly Kearney in Bali in 2014, and they have one child.
