Greg Fleet is a revered figure in Australian comedy, celebrated as one of the most seasoned and beloved stand-up comedians on the global stage.
Originally aspiring to be an actor, Fleet honed his skills at NIDA (National Institute of Dramatic Art). His transition to comedy was spurred by a suggestion from Nick Enright, then Head of Acting at NIDA, who recognised Fleet's natural comedic talent and urged him to pursue it.
Fleet’s versatility has earned him a prominent presence on television, radio, and stage. He has appeared in sitcoms, soap operas, dramas, and is a regular face on chat shows, comedy galas, debates, and panel shows. His career spans acting in Shakespearean plays, both in traditional and comedic adaptations, showcasing his range across serious and comedic roles.
However, Fleet’s most compelling performances often stem from his own persona, known affectionately as 'Fleety'. Whether performing solo or as part of an ensemble, Fleet captivates audiences with his wit, charisma, and sharp writing.
Currently, Fleet can be seen on television in the acclaimed satire "Die On Your Feet", where he leads an ensemble cast in a humorous depiction of life in the comedy industry, essentially portraying himself in a self-reflective and comedic light.
