JJ said he crafted his material on what he picked up around him and if his parents had any jokes to add.

“I love making people laugh because when they laugh it makes me feel happy,” he said.

“I laugh when they laugh.”

His mother Mary-Anne said from an early age, JJ was already cracking gags.

“He would do silly things around the house trying to get a laugh and say things he thought we funny, even if they weren’t at all he’d laugh about it,” she said.

When he is all grown up, JJ said he wants to be an actor and comedian.

Thanks to advertisements for the talent show, he is already handling the first hurdles of fame.

JJ’s audition airs on Channel 7 at 7pm on August 4 and he can be followed on Instagram.
