The Grand Masters of Comedy

Peter’s major TV hosting roles have been ABC TV’s Back Berner, The Einstein Factor, The Loaded Brush, The Comedy Channel’s You Have Been Watching, Sky News Live’s The B Team with Peter Berner, and the Australian Film Institute Awards. All up he has presented more than 500 hours of national television program content in varying genres including comedy, news, and documentary in live and taped environments.
On FM radio, Peter was co-host of Triple M’s breakfast show, The Cage, which was networked live each day along the East Coast, and has also hosted his solo radio show, The Peter Berner Experiment.

His debut at the Sydney Fringe in 2023 was a sold-out run (Class Browns), where he was featured on the Sydney Fringe ‘Fresh Cuts’ showcase. His 2024 shbow “Currymunch” Unpacks what currymuncher means and jokes about stereotypes, relationships, and the great voyage of assimilation. (BYO curry)
