The Joel Creasey Show Joins Nova’s National Lineup From April 20

NOVA Entertainment today announced that brand new national show The Joel Creasey Show will launch on Monday, April 20 at 1.00pm.

Airing weekdays from 1.00pm-2.00pm AEST across the Nova Network, the one-hour lunchtime show ushers in an exciting new chapter for one of Australia’s most loved comedians and Nova presenters, Joel Creasey.

Broadcasting from The Joel Creasey Show’s brand new Nova studio, Joel will bring his signature sharp humour, high energy and infectious personality to a fresh lunchtime audience, delivering an irreverent, personality‑driven hour designed for appointment listening.

Each show will feature Joel’s trademark brand of the unexpected with a focus on conversation and comedy, and will include regular segments, celebrity guests and even the occasional appearance from Joel’s beloved mum, Jenny.

Said Joel “Having treaded the boards in the Australian spotlight for 20 years now (I started when I was 3), I have stories, anecdotes and famous friends that will tickle you pink.

“We have truly broken the mould wide open with how the show is going to look and feel. When I say there’s been some construction happening over at Nova HQ…I mean high-vis and hard hats. It looks like Perth airport before the Kalgoorlie flight.

“I cannot wait to add some razzle-dazzle to your lunchtime. Think of it this way: the plane has taken off and I’m the captain now! And I’ll be landing us in a new, exotic location each day on the cryptically titled The Joel Creasey Show. Please fasten your seatbelts!”

Nova Network’s Group Programming Director, Brendan Taylor added, “Joel is such a skilled broadcaster and comedian and this lunchtime show is a fantastic opportunity to showcase his enormous talents in a fresh new timeslot. Following the success of The Chrissie Swan Show, launching The Joel Creasey Show reinforces Nova’s commitment to creating high quality appointment listening in the workday. We’re really excited to welcome Joel to our weekday lineup.”

Joel Creasey is one of Australia’s most popular and in-demand comedians and presenters. He has sold out comedy tours spanning Australia, Asia, the UK and the United States and has hosted and appeared on numerous Australian television programs throughout his career.

The Joel Creasey Show can be heard weekdays from Monday, April 20 nationally across the Nova Network from 1.00pm-2.00pm.
