Roy Maloy

Roy Maloy is Australia's leading carnival identity. Each year he tours various shows throughout Australia, the UK, USA and Asia, performing up to 50 weeks a year and over 1000 hours! His material and shows are enormously varied and are specifically designed to cater for the unique audience type found in a carnival, festival and family environments.

Over the past 10 years Roy has built up an enormous following of fans and is known, particularly in Australia, as an iconic Australian comedian that can be enjoyed by all age groups. He currently holds a record for tallest stilts ever walked on in Australian history, is set to break the world record for tallest stilts ever walked on in human history in November 2008 (20 meter stilts) and has been acclaimed time and time again as an elite showman.

He has been described variously as 'The Prince of Australian Vaudeville' (Herald Sun), likened in comedic ability to Graeme Kennedy (Victorian Senior) and positioned alongside the Jimmy Sharman Boxing Troupe for his spiralling reputation in regional Australia (Philip Adams - Late Night Live ABC Radio), Roy Maloy has become one of the most highly sought after and bankable live performers in the country.

It is Roy's belief that the average patron at a carnival is roaming about, looking at the displays and milling between attractions. They usually only stop here and there for short periods of time. Roy Maloy has made an institution of himself by developing a number of shows that endear themselves to the exact dynamics of a carnival audience. The shows that Roy brings to a carnival can be either big or small, stationary or roaming, and capitalise on the number of people at the show while utilising what's available and adding to the atmosphere.
