Lawrence Mooney is a comedian and host of Triple M Sydney’s breakfast show, Moonman in the Morning.

Lawrence worked a number of different jobs, including as a customs officer, before getting into stand-up. Now he’s one of Australia’s most loved comedians.

In 2018 Lawrence took Triple M Brisbane’s breakfast show to No 1 before making the move to Sydney to host his own show for Triple M Sydney featuring Gus Worland, Jess Eva and Chris Page.

Lawrence has also done a bunch of TV including the ABCs Dirty Laundry Live and Fox Sports The Beep Test. He also had a sell-out season at the Sydney Opera House with his show An Evening with Malcolm Turnbull.

In this episode, Lawrence Mooney talks about the time he stole drugs when he was working as a customs officer, why amateur theatre is a Shangri-La for straight blokes and what he learned from hitting rock bottom.
