Hamish Donald Blake

Hamish Donald Blake (born 11 December 1981) is an Australian comedian, television and radio presenter, actor and author. Since 2003, he has worked with Andy Lee as part of the comedy duo Hamish and Andy, performing live and on television and radio, most notably with their drive-time radio program Hamish & Andy. As a solo performer, Blake has appeared on various Australian television programs and has been a regular guest on shows such as Spicks and Specks, Rove, and Thank God You're Here. In April 2012, Blake and Lee won a Logie Award for their television program Hamish and Andy's Gap Year.

Blake grew up in the Melbourne suburb of Glen Waverley as a middle child. As a child he was a fan of British comedy such as Monty Python, Fawlty Towers and Blackadder, and was a member of the National Boys Choir of Australia during the late 1980s. He attended Caulfield Grammar School and later St Leonard's College, graduating in 1999. After a gap year, he enrolled at the University of Melbourne in a Science/Commerce double degree, but dropped out to pursue comedy after meeting Andy Lee. His first stand-up performance, in a university competition, earned him third place and qualified him for a statewide universities' final, which he won.

Blake and Lee performed their breakout show at the Melbourne International Comedy Festival in 2003, and went on to create the community television show Radio Karate, which won an Antenna Award. After The Hamish and Andy Show on the Seven Network was cancelled in 2005, they developed the mock current affairs show Real Stories for Network Ten, and in 2006 debuted a national drive-time radio show on the Today Network that quickly became hugely popular. Blake is a two-time winner of the Gold Logie Award for Most Popular Personality on Australian Television, winning in 2012 for Hamish and Andy's Gap Year and in 2022 for Lego Masters, and has received the Medal of the Order of Australia.
