Simon Keck

Simon Keck
Simon Keck was born at an early age and emigrated to Australia from his mother. He has worked as a comedian and presenter in both radio and on the wireless, where critics described him with adjectives. He first became interested in writing after they met at a mutual friend’s party. Simon fell in love soon after and can often be found wrapped up in his writing. He’s constantly trying to get it in to writing, but she usually has a headache or has eaten too much and feels bloated and unattractive. Despite being a city boy, Simon is terribly un-cool. He has acute allergic reactions to rad. Once he high-fived a guy in tight jeans and ended up in hospital for a fortnight.

Keck divvies up his spare time trying to figure out if snot has a smell and supports himself by the use of his legs. He currently resides in Melbourne where he lives with his actions. When Simon isn’t pensively penning his memoirs, titled Baritone Fist, he can be found working as a freelance bookmark on the Sandringham line. He is also quite preoccupied by coming up with polite insults that are anatomically correct and contain no cuss words, such as “penis owner” and “mammary haver”.

His current writing projects can be found at: “Dead Under Fluorescent Lights” - frustrated yearnings from cubicle to coffin. and “The HalfCast” – described as the world’s first horror-comedy podcast.
