Harley Breen, the comedian who grew up without television and now graces our screens

Harley Breen has graced some of Australia’s most important comedy stages, fronted some of the country’s flagship radio shows and appeared on our screens as a revered host.

He now embarks on a new gig as the co-host of Network Ten’s Making It Australia with Susie Youssef – a reality show that celebrates craftsmanship from pottery to crotchet and more.

Jamila Rizvi discovers that Harley’s journey to his public-facing profession is a far cry from where he began in a household with little access to music and television.
