Ty quit his full-time role as a teacher to make comedy 'happen'. Now, after returning home after midnight from gigs each night, he has to turn up to a new school each day and face a new group of kids ready to tear him down every chance they get.
After starting comedy in Melbourne, Ty moved to Darwin in the middle of the COVID-19 pandemic to escape lockdown. There, he made an immediate impression on the Darwin comedy scene, hosting and headlining gigs around town and touring his debut solo show Those Who Can't Do to Adelaide Fringe Festival, Melbourne International Comedy Festival, Darwin Fringe Festival and Perth FRINGE WORLD, all while juggling his role as a full-time teacher. Now, he's moving teaching to the side and putting comedy to the front, but to support himself he still has to be a Relief Teacher.
