Sam is one of the most daring and unconventional comics in Australia, completely original and vastly absurd, he has one foot firmly planted into the soils of reality, and the other rooted deep into the psyche of being silly.

Sam is a multi award winning cult figure within the Australian comedy scene.  He has collected awards and glowing reviews, and played to sell out houses with his solo Melbourne Comedy Festival shows Tales of the Erotic Cat in 2006, The Sex & Science of Boredom in 2007, Where Can I Win a Bear Around Here? in 2008, and Sam Simmons In The Net Starring Sandra Bullock in 2009. Tales of the Erotic Cat picked up a prestigious nomination for the Barry Award for Most Outstanding Show and Where Can I Win A Bear Around Here? won the much respected Festival Director's Choice Award.

Joyous on the radiowaves, Sam has made Triple J his own. 2008/09 has seen him at the helm of the Weekend Breakfast Show as well as weekday Breakfast and Drive Shows and he is now a regular contributor across the station.

Spreading further into the ABC, Sam is now a regular on JTV as a host, as well as creating his own sketches and interviewing the latest bands.

In 2008 Sam filmed an interstitial comedy series for the ABC, The Urban Monkey with Murray Foote, which screened in 2009.  In that same year, he made his debut at the Edinburgh Fringe Festival with his solo show ‘Problems’ and received rave reviews.

Alongside his comedy, Sam has worked within animal enrichment at the Melbourne Zoo with Elephants, seals, reptiles and small native mammals.

Quite simply there is no one else quite like him in the comedy world. Sam is the comic other comedians got to see.

“ Welcome to the most absurdly crazy world orbiting the Fringe, featuring some of the most original comic concepts and laugh out loud moments of any Edinburgh show in the past 20 years” The Herald, UK

“ Simmons is a wide-eyed, frantically energetic stage presence. 'Problems' made me want to leap to my feet and scream "Genius!" in an outrageous French accent” Three Weeks, UK

“ When held against the rules of comedy super stardom, Simmons is a lawless gent indeed. Through laughter he will seduce you into his dinky, intimate underside… If you’re looking for the best of the truly transgressive fest, Erotic Cat should be on your hit list.”  The Age

“…it’s a cult in the making” Scotland On Sunday

“Here is one of those rare surreal comedians who doesn’t tell jokes and rely on observational humour. He’s just out there, in Sam Simmons land, a place so weird and wonderful he’s just bursting (in a nerdy bespectacled kind of way) to share it with the rest of us… check your sanity at the door and just laugh yourself silly.”  The Adelaide Advertiser
