Since being discovered performing stand-up in a dingy Collingwood pub over 15 years ago, the warm and vibrant Jo Stanley has risen to become a household name—and for good reason!
Born and raised in Melbourne, Jo Stanley rose to fame in 2003 as one half of The Matt & Jo Show, the hilarious and heartwarming breakfast radio duo on Fox FM. Together with funnyman Matt Tilley, Jo enjoyed 10 successful years of breakfast radio—at their peak, the duo was the most listened-to radio show in the country, with a whopping 6 years at number one.
Famous for their banter and warm authenticity, The Matt & Jo Show brightened up weekday mornings with plenty of stories, jokes and celebrity interviews. Over their ten-year run, Matt & Jo interviewed a number of big name celebs, including Matt Damon, Hugh Jackman, Lady Gaga, Nicole Kidman and Beyoncé.
Aside from her vibrant career in radio, Jo has also appeared on several TV shows across various networks—including the ABC, Comedy Channel, Network Ten, Network Seven and the Nine Network. Over the years, Jo has graced our screens on shows like Channel Ten’s The Project, The Circle, Good News Week, The Panel and Australia’s Brainiest Quiz Show, as well as Channel 7’s SlideShow, Good as Gold, Thank God You’re Here, Sunday Brunch and Channel Nine’s Clever. Since December 2013, Jo can also be seen making regular appearances on Network Ten’s breakfast show, Studio 10.
On top of this, Jo is also a sought-after keynote speaker, corporate coach and MC. Bringing with her a great sense of humour and an honest, open approach, Jo frequently speaks on topics such as personal brand, presentation skills, resilience and mindfulness. Plus, with years of industry experience and a wealth of knowledge, Jo also conducts interactive workshops for companies such as NAB, Westpac, Medibank, Kikki K, Southern Cross Austereo, and Melbourne University Business School. Similarly, she has also MC’d for many organisations including the AFL, Ella Bache, Fernwood Fitness, GAP and New Idea Magazine.
Jo’s talent, humour and warm personality make her a popular and much-loved Aussie star. And with her diverse skills and wealth of experience, we’re sure we’re only going to be seeing more of her.
