Sam Reucassel is a writer and comedian based on Gadigal land.

Once described as “annoyingly happy,” he writes through an optimistic lens, finding humour and connection in places they’re not immediately offered.  While completing a Bachelor of Arts (English) at the University of Sydney, Sam honed his craft through theatre, sketch comedy, and (shamefully) improvisation, performing on stages from the Enmore Theatre to the famed Bank Hotel.

A compulsive liar in his youth, Sam’s family is relieved he now channels that instinct into storytelling. His grandparents, however, still wish he had studied Law.
