Rachel Corbett interviews well-known media personalities and celebrities to find out exactly what it takes to make it in show business.
Tim Ross (aka Rosso) is an Australian comedian, radio host, design enthusiast and television presenter.
Rosso is best known for his work as part of the comedy duo Merrick and Rosso with fellow comedian, Merrick Watts.
Their partnership began after Merrick saw Rosso play in his comedy band Black Rose and fell in love with his moon boots. They struck up a friendship and the rest, as they say, is history.
Together Merrick and Rosso created their own unique style of comedy gig that was more like a band gig than the traditional ‘man and the mic’ stand up shows that were popular at the time.
After the amazing success of their live shows they were approached to host Triple J breakfast and were then poached to be the launch breakfast show for new Sydney radio station, NOVA.
Since parting ways Rosso has continued to work as a stand-up mixing his love of design with comedy in his Man About The House tours. He’s also a published author and host of the award-winning ABC TV series, Streets of Your Town.
In this episode Rosso talks about how being in a band impacted the live Merrick and Rosso shows, the first time he saw his future comedy partner, Merrick Watts, perform, why Streets of Your Town is the project he’s most proud of and how he feels he’s changed.
