Brisbane-based comedian Angus McLeod might already have experience on the stand-up circuit, but his journey back to the stage is anything but ordinary. Known for his sharp, satirical one-liners, Angus brings a distinctive perspective to comedy, drawing on his experiences with profound hearing loss and life with a cochlear implant.
After suffering a traumatic brain injury in 2022 that left him temporarily unable to hear or walk, Angus faced an extraordinary road to recovery. His determination eventually brought him back to stand-up, where he has continued turning life’s toughest moments into comedy.
Now officially one of our proud Hard Knock Knocks alumni, Angus is proof that a great comedian can find laughs in even the most unexpected places. With his dry delivery, resilience and unique point of view, he brings something genuinely different to the stage. Watch his Hard Knock Knocks graduation performance below:
