Randy Feltface

**Randy Feltface** was a Puppet Comedian act from FantasyAGT: Battle of the Champions. He was eliminated in the Preliminaries, but was saved by Fresh. He was eliminated again in Judge Cuts.

## Background

Randy started doing stand-up comedy in 2005 and has since given birth to seven critically acclaimed solo shows.  He has appeared at Fringe, Comedy and Music festivals, performed on major stages in regal theatres and gigged in sticky-carpeted beer-barns from Edinburgh to Hong Kong, Galway to New York and Singapore to Sydney.

In 2016 *Randy Writes a Novel* was nominated for best comedy at The Edinburgh Fringe Festival and went on to a season at the Soho Theatre in London as well as the 2017 Montreal Just For Laughs Festival, where Randy also appeared on the Jane Krakowski Television Gala. The following year *Randy Writes a Novel*played an eight week Off-Broadway season at the Clurman Theatre in New York City and was later filmed as a special which aired on ABC TV in Australia. The illegally pirated version of that show is currently racking up millions of views on YouTube and is well worth a look.

In 2010 Randy joined forces with skinny man Sammy J to create *Ricketts Lane*, which won Best Show at the Melbourne International Comedy Festival and went on to become a television series of the same name, airing on ABC TV in Australia, Seeso in the US and Netflix in the UK. Randy's role in *Sammy J & Randy in Ricketts Lane* earned him an ACTAA nomination for best performer in a comedy series in 2015, the first non-human performer to be recognised in this category.

Between occasional guest appearances on Australian light-entertainment television programs, Randy has spent a significant amount of time writing and touring with his musical partner in crime, Sammy J. Together they have hosted the *Melbourne International Comedy Festival Gala*, appeared on *Good News World*, *Q&A* and *The Project*, written and toured live shows such as *Bin Night*, *The Inheritance* and *Sammy J and Randy Land,* performed a few times at The Sydney Opera House, released an album and a couple of DVDs, been nominated for two ARIAs and featured on the *Neil Patrick Harris Gala* at the 2015 Montreal Just For Laughs Festival.

Randy’s most recent live special *The Book Of Randicus* is due for release in 2019 and he was most recently spotted on NBC’s *Bring The Funny,* where he was seen gesticulating wildly in a checked shirt*.* [1]

## Preliminary

Randy Feltface's performance in Episode BC04 consisted of him performing a comedy routine about his homeland Australia, the sport of line raging, and ignorant people using self-checkout machines. He got standing ovations from judges Mike, Saf, Pennies, and Fresh. His performance was not strong enough for the judges to send him to Judge Cuts, eliminating him from the competition along with Robin Williams. Fresh decided to use his save on him, advancing him to Judge Cuts.

## Judge Cuts

Randy Feltface's performance in Episode BC09 consisted of him joking about getting a massage from a guy covered in scabs. His performance harbored standing ovations from judges Mike, Saf, side judge Nerdy, and Fresh. However, his performance was not strong enough for the judges to send him to the Quarterfinals, eliminating him from the competition.
