Dilruk Jayasinha is one of the most beloved and in demand comedians in Australia.
After moving from Sri Lanka to Melbourne to attend university, Dil completed a degree in accounting and started working for one of the “Big Four.” However, after being let go and then performing at an open mic night in 2010, that all changed.
His style of personal, upbeat and effervescent stand up is renowned for providing audiences with glimpses into his life. Highly relatable and introspective, his ability to charm a crowd is second to none.
On top of selling out his stand-up shows around the country, he is a welcome regular on TV and radio – appearing on our most loved shows such as Utopia, MasterChef Australia, I’m A Celebrity Get Me Out of Here, Spicks & Spicks and Have You Been Paying Attention?. You’d be hard pressed not to be familiar with his wit, charisma, and honesty.
He has performed stand up on numerous Melbourne International Comedy Festival Galas and Just For Laughs, hosted the RAW Comedy Final on SBS and recorded his own special (Bundle Of Joy) for Prime Video in 2020, available worldwide.
In 2018, Dilruk received the Graham Kennedy Award for Most Popular New Talent at The TV Week Logie Awards and in 2022, he suffered a heart attack. Both were life changing.
