John Knowles

John Knowles

John Knowles is a professional communications trainer, storyteller, writer, actor and comedian. He performs at professional storytelling events around Australia and can be heard regularly on ABC702 Afternoons with James Valentine, performing his storytelling show, "I Can Top That!". 

John has written and performed his own full-length solo shows including "Storytiller" and "FourFathers"; toured his shows "IMPROZAC" and "Cops On Heat” to major Comedy and Fringe festivals; and collected the Moosehead Award at the Melbourne International Comedy Festival for his one-man show, "John Knowles Is Saddle Sore". He has also represented Australia at the International Theatresports improvisation Championships in the USA.

John studied acting at Canada’s Ryerson Acting School, and personal coaching at ‘Coach U’.
