We did it we broke the Guinness World Record!!!

Longest Stand Up Routine by an Individual

At 10:30pm on Saturday the 24th October 2009. I completed an amazing journey of 38hrs on stage. Starting at 8:30am Friday the 23rd October I had a 5min break for every hour that I had completed. The old record was 36hrs 15min....

Many of fine people came along to support the attempt and there was heaps of inspiration from around the world. Most notably Jason Cook in the UK and Eddie Ifft in the USA.

Many thanks to the very dedicated people from ACT for Kids who volunteered their time and made the event a success. Much needed funds and more importantly awareness has been made for their great charity. Most importantly a huge thanks to my support crew. They did a stella job.

Lindsay is truly an International act worthy of the title, with Six Edinburgh Fringe Festival visits under his belt, as well as plenty of tours across the Tasman (including as an International Guest at the 2009 NZ International Comedy Festival in Auckland). He has also managed to recently break a Guinness World Record. An amazing feat he broke the record for the longest stand up routine by an individual. Setting the mark at 38hrs, breaking the old record of 36hrs 15min set by Irish Comic Tommy Tiernan.

Lindsay has also done many guest spots on TV & Radio, including “Stand up Australia” & most recently on “Good News Week” (CH 10) & “The Footy Show” (CH 9). “7Days” (TV3NZ)

Lindsay has attended the Edinburgh Fringe Festival, Scotland for each of the last 6 years, and in 2006 Lindsay performed his debut one hour solo show “Foolosophy”, receiving a 4 star review (Three Weeks). The show’s success on comedy’s biggest stage was confirmed when it was accepted on the Jongleurs circuit through London and the UK.

In 2007 Lindsay presented another hugely successful show”Lad to Dad”, which was presented both in Edinburgh and in Australia. Lindsay rounded out the year with a very popular Xmas run of his show “Foolosophy 2”. His new show “Hurry up Jesus" launched in November 2009, he will present this show at the Adelaide Fringe in Feb-March 2010.

Prior to his solo show efforts, Lindsay’s career was forged across several mediums. He was ‘the funny bloke’ on the Sea FM Morning Crew on the Sunshine Coast QLD for four years, and has been working the Australian Comedy Circuit since he won the Queensland finals of the Melbourne International Comedy Festival JJJ Raw Comedy Competition in 1998.
