Kerry O’Keeffe
Cricket Funny Man
Kerry O’Keeffe has a larger-than-life personality. His quick and wicked humour, knowledge and interest in all things sport won him a gig as a regular guest on the popular TV show “The Fat”. Since then, he has never been very far from centre stage in the media.
As a speaker, Kerry has an excellent range. He has a very individual style, combining comedy with his passionate and inspiring addresses on motivation. From his personal kit bag of hilarious sporting yarns, he captures the attention of any audience and holds it. His motto, “Being the best you can be”, is put into practice in everything he undertakes. He is an inspiring speaker, a consummate performer, and an entertaining commentator.
Kerry’s interest in sport has never waned. He continues strong links with Australia’s favourite game as a commentator for Fox Sports (and prior to this on ABC Radio) and as a specialist tutor to aspiring young leg spinners at the AIS Cricket Academy in Adelaide and the young NSW Emerging Blues. He understands all facets of the game and its administration, from performance at the elite level, to its grassroots operations.
O’Keeffe’s vast knowledge forms the basis of an anecdote-spiced presentation sure to have you laughing your socks off one minute and searching within the next. The man with the most distinctive laugh in the electronic media is both entertaining and provocative.
