Paul Ego (birth name Paul Jones; born (1966-03-12)12 March 1966) is a Billy T Award winning New Zealand comedian.[1] He is best known both for his past role as leader of Team One on the New Zealand comedy current affairs panel show 7 Days,[2] and as the voice artist of the Stickman in television advertisements for PAK'nSAVE supermarket.
In the mid-1980s, Ego was the singer in an Auckland-based band called The Yes Men.[3] He also worked as a signwriter.[4]
Ego's first comedy gig was in London in 1994 and upon returning to New Zealand in 1995 he soon became a regular sight on the pro-comedy skyline.[5] He performed his show Paul Ego's Show in 1999 in Auckland and Christchurch.[6] Ego was nominated for the Billy T Award in 1999, and won the award in 2000 for his show Cool.[7]
Ego's radio career began in 2000 with his role on the Kim & Corbett Breakfast Show on Auckland's More FM. His role on the award-winning show involved writing comedy scripts and voicing many of the show's regular characters. In 2006 Paul moved to NZ's Rock Network and became one quarter of The Morning Rumble.[8] According to his website, he was "parolled in 2011"[9] in order to "get to know his family again in the mornings."[10]
In the early months of 2013 he co-starred alongside Jeremy Corbett in a comedy show called The Radio. Ego has been married to his wife Janine for 25 years, and has two sons; on his website, he claims to be a "loving but mostly ineffective father."[11][3] He lives in the wealthy North Auckland suburb of Devonport, a source of several jokes from his fellow 7 Days colleagues.
Ego's inspirations include Eddie Izzard.[4]
