LUKE HEGGIE: The Comedian Who Started at 35 & Never Looked Back

Luke Heggie is a no-nonsense comedian known for his sharp wit, dry delivery, and an unfiltered take on the world around him. Despite starting stand-up at 35, he quickly carved out a reputation as one of Australia’s most respected comics, turning over fresh material at an alarming rate and never hesitating to call out a tough crowd. In this chat with Jimmy & Nath, Luke breaks down his late start in comedy, why he never thought of himself as a comedian, and how his dad’s unexpected jousting match at a bus stop shaped his sense of humour. He reflects on growing up as a small, studious kid in an all-boys school, his long list of odd jobs before comedy took over, and why most great comics aren’t only children. Luke also dishes on why Australians are weirdly respectful comedy audiences, his love-hate relationship with other comics, and why he thinks modern stand-up might just be too polished for its own good. Tickets to Luke Heggie’s brand new stand up show ‘YUCK’ can be found at lukeheggie.com.
