Comedy
As a Comedian - Marty Fields is a rapid-fire power station of material and one of the genuine big guns on the Australian comedy circuit. He began his stand-up career in 1987, playing the comedy circuit in hotels and clubs all over the country.
Marty has a comedy radio show that is networked to over a 100 stations nationally. As the best selling author of three comedy books, Marty is recognized as Australia's authority on one-liners for every possible topic. His corporate comedy performances have been praised for the past fifteen years by regular clients such as Toyota, Coca Cola, McDonalds, Ford, The AFL, BHP, Telstra, Shell, IBM, Beaurepaires, and Cadbury.
An accomplished pianist and songwriter, Marty has produced many specialized songs, jingles and music for events and companies and individuals, as well as being able to add piano/vocal comedy to his standup performances, which can often add that special difference to an event.
Recently nominated for a Mo Award as the best stand-up comedian in the country, in 2005 he was inducted into the Australian Comedy Hall Of Fame. Marty is also considered one of our great comedy exports, and has just returned from his third tour of the United States where he performed in Phoenix, Chicago, Las Vegas, L.A, Dallas, and headlined for a week at the New York Comedy Club in Manhattan. His attention to detail as well as his ability to tailor his act content to suit all types of audiences and tastes without sacrificing laughs, sets Marty apart as one of the premier corporate comedians in Australia.

His attention to detail, charisma and twenty years involvement in prestigious corporate events, makes Marty one of the most sought after MCs in the country. He has hosted successful and diverse functions for most major corporations, both in Australia and overseas, including CUB, Castrol, Nestle, Coca Cola, The PGA Tour and TT Line. Marty has presented many awards nights including The Australian Music Awards, ADMA Awards, A.G.C.
