20+ YEARS. 28 COUNTRIES. ZERO FILTER.
Starting in Melbourne, Australia's comedy capital, Wayne Deakin quickly hit the international circuit. Within four years he was touring the US with gigs at Carolines, Boston Comedy Club, Gotham, Comic Strip, Montreal Comedy Festival and the world famous "Laff Trax" in Las Vegas.
Wayne then spent ten years in the UK, based in London and becoming a regular at the Comedy Store, Jongleurs, Glee and Stand Comedy Clubs as well as doing regular tours of the Middle East and Asia.
This sojourn culminated in a very well received Edinburgh Fringe Festival show at the largest arts festival in the world.
Wayne also tours constantly with the Australian and British Military with gigs in East Timor, Sinai, Cyprus, Doha, Dubai, Afghanistan and Iraq.
