Sam Taunton

Sam Taunton is the perfect comedian for couples, parents, groups of friends, friends of friends, enemies, dogs, cats and anyone else. Cancel everything and spend an hour with Australia's best stand-up comedian (self-appointed).

Sam took over as a host on The Project in 2023. He couldn’t tie a tie. Whenever he’d wear one, he’d look like an outer suburban real-estate agent or a teenager on his way to court. He has overcome this huge personal and professional hurdle and is back with a huge new hour of comedy. P.S he swears more than he does on telly.

Six nights a week, The Project provides Australian viewers with their dose of ‘news delivered differently’, serving up thought-provoking news, current affairs, comedy and entertainment.
