Hello, I’m Sam and I do comedy stuff.
I’ve had a pretty wild career so far — co-winning The Traitors NZ, hosting The Money Match Up for The Co-Operative Bank, and serving as a head writer for 7 Days since 2019.
I’ve crafted tasks for Taskmaster NZ and Australia, written scripts for Wellington Paranormal and The Project, and even penned bestselling children’s books.
As a comedian and actor, I’ve popped up on Shortland Street, Mean Mums, and was the announcer for Popstars, while also warming up crowds for Dancing With The Stars, The Aotearoa Music Awards, and The Comedy Gala.
Not too bad for someone who started as a dentist!
I love bringing creativity, humour, and storytelling to every project I’m part of.
