Profile

Michael Hing is a comedian, actor, improviser, broadcaster, podcaster and speaker.

In 2025, Michael is embarking on his biggest tour ever with a brand new show, Get in the Submarine.

Michael is co-creator and now host and DM of Dragon Friends, the biggest Dungeons and Dragons podcast in Australia, and also hosts Free To a Good Home, a disgusting podcast about the strangest classifieds listings online (mostly free horses and unwanted engagement rings), and The Hobba & Hing Podcast with his former triple j Drive co-host Lewis Hobba, which was launched from a hot air balloon.

Over the past decade, Michael has hosted a bunch of TV shows including The Project (TEN), Celebrity Letters & Numbers (SBS), Good Game (ABC) and the acclaimed docuseries Where Are You Really From? (SBS). He often pops up as a guest on game comedy panel shows such as Guy Montgomery’s Spelling Bee (ABC) and Spicks & Specks (ABC).

His political comedy featured regularly on SBS’s The Feed, where his videos have amassed over 20 million views online, and won an Australian Writer’s Guild Award for Best Comedy Writing in 2020. He also briefly tried to run for the Senate in 2019 before SBS’ lawyers made it very clear that what he was doing was illegal.

He is available for corporate speaking events as an MC, keynote speaker, or for some light relief.

His parents worry about him.
