Dilruk Jayasinha is one of the most beloved and in-demand comedians in Australia. Originally from Sri Lanka, Dilruk moved to Melbourne to attend university, where he completed a degree in accounting and began working for one of the “Big Four” firms. However, his career path changed dramatically after performing at an open mic night in 2010.
Dilruk's comedy is known for its personal, upbeat, and effervescent style, providing audiences with relatable glimpses into his life. His highly relatable and introspective humor, combined with his ability to charm a crowd, has made him a favorite among Australian audiences.
He has sold out stand-up shows across the country and is a regular on TV and radio. Dilruk has appeared on popular shows such as "Utopia," "MasterChef Australia," "I’m A Celebrity Get Me Out of Here," "Spicks & Specks," "Have You Been Paying Attention," and many more.

In 2018, Dilruk received one of the highest accolades in Australian entertainment, the Graham Kennedy Award for Most Popular New Talent at The TV Week Logie Awards. Recently, he impressed viewers on "Celebrity Masterchef," making it to the semi-finals despite having only recently learned to cook during the 2020 lockdown.
