He began his career in a band, singing and playing guitar, before his habit of altering the lyrics to amuse himself saw him become a comedian. In 1969, he left Australia to tour the United States and Canada. He returned in 1981, after being asked by his friend Barry Wain, to found the Comedy Store in Sydney and was also its first compere.

He was arrested by Queensland police in the mid-1990's after offending officers during a show in the state. His shows have been subdued north of the border as a result. The album Not Guilty was a result of this incident.

According to his website, rude.com.au, his absence from the comedy circuit in 2004 has been due to his recovery from a motorcycle accident. He has announced that he will go on his 11th and final tour starting in April 2005.
