Gary the Goat and Jimbo Bazoobi are an Australian comedy duo who perform in Australian towns and have become very popular since beginning their comedy career in 2011, mostly through Facebook and YouTube, with their Facebook page recently surpassing 1.4 million 'likes'.[2]
Early life
Gary the Goat was bought by Jimbo for a carton of beer in Gingin, Western Australia in December 2011[3][4][unreliable source?] and since then the pair have been touring Australia, with some small breaks. Gary is currently around four years old.[4]
Jimbo Bazoobi
Jimbo was originally a children's party clown through the 1990s, and since then moved to stand-up comedy, and has performed at over 435 venues in Australia alone since 2004, as well as many other international venues.[5] many of them with Gary, who he calls his "best mate".
Controversy
Gary the Goat and Jimbo often push boundaries as to where the goat is taken and where it's permitted, and has been in trouble with councils and even the police, including a threat by a local council to have him impounded at Castle Hill's Goat Track.[6] In 2013 Gary was taken to court by New South Wales police after eating vegetation outside Sydney's Museum for Contemporary Art, though the AU$440 fine was dismissed by the judge.[7][8]
On 16 May 2015 Gary the Goat's YouTube channel was 'indefinitely' suspended, though it was reinstated a few days later.[9]
