Triple M

Guinness World Record-holding joke-teller Lehmo joins Wil Anderson every weekday from 4pm on Triple M.

Believe it or not, Lehmo started off his professional life as a Chartered Accountant. For many years - he says too many - Lehmo lived his life crunching numbers... until he found the world of entertainment. He is now partnering up with good mate Wil Anderson to host Triple M's brand new drive-time show "Wil and Lehmo" from 4pm every weekday.

Aside from regularly headlining the top venues in Australia, Lehmo's extraordinary knack of making people laugh has seen him jet around the world to excite audiences in New York, London, Edinburgh, Johannesburg, Kuala Lumpar, Singapore and Hong Kong.

Lehmo even made a special trip to the Middle East to entertain the troops and on his return, treated the Australian public to an exceptionally unique show, Christmas in Baghdad, relaying tales of flying in black hawks over Baghdad at midnight, escaped zoo animals and Maccas in Kuwait.

He has also performed to sell out shows in the highly acclaimed Adelaide Fringe Festival (2000, 2002 and 2004), the Melbourne International Comedy Festival (1999, 2002, 2003, 2004 and 2005) and the Edinburgh Fringe festival (1996 and 1997).

Lehmo recently broke the Guinness World Record for the most jokes told in an hour (549) beating the previous record by 50 jokes.

When he isn't making people laugh on the radio or on a stage, you can find Lehmo engaging in his other passion (talking) football, each Saturday on Network Ten's Before The Game. Lehmo has also had regular guest spots on The Fat, The Glasshouse and has appeared on Hey Hey It's Saturday, Headliners and ROVE Live.

Lehmo's live credits across the U.K include the 1996 and 1997 Edinburgh Fringe Festivals, the Comedy Store and Jongleurs - the largest chain of comedy clubs in Britain, and The Boston Comedy Club and The Gotham Comedy Club both in New York City.

Overseas television demand for Lehmo has seen him appear on England's BBC TV Comedy Showcase and as a regular compere on Britain's longest running television stand up show Stand up Live.

Lehmo has shared the stage with the likes of Kenny Kramer (the original Kramer), Damon Wayons, Rich Hall, Merrick & Rosso, Jimeoin, Greg Fleet, Ross Noble, Adam Hills, Wil Anderson and Dave Hughes.

Having worked as a Chartered Accountant both in Australia and in London before taking up comedy full time, Lehmo is perfectly qualified to perform at Corporate Functions or prepare Corporate hoaxes.

Lehmo also has a wealth of experience as audience warm up for the recording of various television programmes.

And just in case you were wondering, the one thing that Lehmo loves about Adelaide is Iced Coffee and Fruchocs (we let him have 2 things).

In April 2007 Lehmo will be joining Wil Anderson to present a national tripleM drive shift. This is an amazing opportunity and Lehmo cannot wait to open the mics and get on air with his mate Wil. "Wil is the best in the business and a great mate and I know we are gonna have a lot of fun together. And after 4 years of breakfast radio I can't wait to sleep in!!"
