ELLIOT GOBLET BIOGRAPHY - THE SHORT STORY

Elliot Goblet is one of Australia’s best loved and most original comedians.
He started his career in the very early 80’s trying out at comedy clubs wherever he could. In those days one good spot would be followed by a few not so good spots....but he put all of that down to experience.

After 10 months of exercising his comedy muscles this then very quirky guy with little round glasses, goatee beard and zinc creamed nose was lucky enough to get a spot on a television talent show called “You’re a Star” and be immediately discovered by Daryl Somers.

This led to regular national television stand up spots(around 60) right through the 80’s and 90’s...and some beyond the 90’s on shows like Hey Hey It’s Saturday, Midday Show, The Big Gig and The Footy Show(NRL). He also did many guest appearances on celebrity TV game shows and on shows like Burke’s Backyard and Neighbours.

Some Other Achievements include...
(1) Thousands of public performances all over Australia and in 7 other countries including The Montreal Festival in 1989.
(2) A multitude of corporate events and also many private events such as weddings, parties...but not anything.
(3) A best selling book “Business According To Goblet” containing heavily nonsense coated business advice.
(4) An Aria nominated CD “Internally Berserk” containing lots of totally unrelated one liners plus Elliot Goblet in song mode.
(5) A regular segment on current affairs TV program “Hinch” giving Elliot’s “offbeat but on target” view of the week’s news.
(6) Support act for the band “America” in Australia and it was a big thrill for him to be called back on stage at the end of the nights to
join in the chorus of “Horse With No Name”.
(7) Host of the Qantas in flight audio comedy channel world wide...and beyond.
(8) Cameo role in the film “Fat Pizza” as a pesky health inspector.
