Simon Palomares

Of all the places to be in quarantine during the COVID crisis, Simon Palomares seems to have lucked out.

Australia locked up hard and fast, and Simon went from performing stand-up on cruise ships around the world to hunkering down in his home city of Melbourne.

But while the USA struggles to contain the virus, Aussies are enjoying a zero-infection rate and mostly free-range travel throughout the country.

Simon has taken the time away from performing to pursue other passions, like brushing up on his cooking, exploring Oz in a van, and promoting his documentary film about standup comedy in Cuba, Latigo.

Born in Germany with a childhood in Spain, Simon has worked and played around the world his whole life. His background and experiences have lent a unique perspective to his comedy and his life.

Gracias, mate!
