Joel-Creasey-3-credit-Ed-PurnomoTwenty-something Joel Creasey is one of Melbourne’s brightest new lights on the comedy circuit. This coming Thursday May 13 he headlines at the Currumbin RSL’s Side Splitting Comedy. Check out how he faired on The Echo personality tester!.

If I wasn’t a comedian I’d be…
I think I’d be a great publicist. I’m very good at gossiping. So either a publicist or a hairdresser.

What annoys me most about my mother is the way she…
Is funnier than I. Honestly. I keep taking her to auditions with me and people seem genuinely more interested in her. Back off, Mum!

What annoys me most about my dad is the way he…
Supports me. Ugh, it’s such a drag.

What annoys my parents about me most is…
Oh god, why the parent bagging? They don’t annoy me.

The most repeated comment on my school reports was…
‘He has flair.’ Which is a nice way of saying ‘We think he might be gay’.

People say I look just like…
Either Leonardo DiCaprio in What’s Eating Gilbert Grape or Wyatt Roy from the Liberal Party (ouch). Or a pretty Dakota Fanning.

If I could rid the world of three people they would be…
The three wise men. Ugh, they really set the bar high in terms of baby-shower gifts.

If I could have a superpower it would be…
To be able to conjure up frozen yoghurt whenever I want. I eat so much froyo. If you are what you eat – I’m extra tart froyo.

Kim Kardashian should…
Come round to my place for dinner, have a few bottles of wine and tell me all her secrets. And give me some money.

People who text while they are driving…
Better be sending me dirty photos.

If I could change anything about myself it would be…
My nose. I want to have a really obvious nose job. So then I can be on the cover of a magazine with a ‘Has he or hasn’t he?’ photo and it to be so obvious. Yes! He has! He has a completely different face now!

The world should take notice of my…
Extremely self-indulgent Instagram account. It’s just selfies. I’m like a 14-year-old girl.

My worst habit is…
My instragramming of selfies.

My most impressive feature is my…
Fantastic legs. I should be a drag queen, really.

I am frightened of…
Everything. So much. Tony Abbott, snakes, the receptionist at the hotel I’m currently in.

When it comes to Christians I think…
I’ve read Harry Potter, too, but I don’t bang on about it.

In my ideal world…
Oprah is in charge and every day is ‘Oprah’s favourite things’ day!
