This is Lawrence Mooney’s bio and there’s something he’d like to sort out from the get-go, all bios are written by the subject of the bio. There isn’t some benevolent guardian angel going around heaping praise on people, it’s written by me so let’s cut the third person illusion and get to the nitty gritty of my amazing life thus far.

I have been lauded as one of the best comedians in this country, The Sydney Morning Herald wrote, “he’s a fierce and fearless hunter of the funny and deserves his reputation as a master of the form.” Then this from the Herald Sun, “consistently funny, insightful, well-written, beautifully paced, well-honed stand up.” You get it, I’m funny.

I’m on the tele too. I’m a regular on The Front Bar on Seven. Last year I was part of The John Cleese roast on Seven and got to rub John’s bunions, but that’s another story. I hosted Dirty Laundry Live on the ABC for three years, I’ve also appeared on Have You Been Paying Attention?, Thank God You’re Here and The Back Page. For three years I was on Triple M Sydney with my breakfast show Moonman In The Morning.

I have toured the country with the hit live show The Comedians, starring my good mates Mick Molloy, Marty Sheargold and Sam Pang.

My solo shows on tour have included Pigeonhole, Beauty and Dead Set Country.

I love the stage and nothing can keep me away from doing stand-up. Currently I’m touring nationally with my show Full Moon Party.

I’m now also an acclaimed author with my parody Self-Help book Embracing Your Limitations. It’s funny with a bit of zen wisdom at its conic heart available online at all good book sellers and in book shops that have a dodgy louvered door section.
