NOVA Entertainment has confirmed The Joel Creasey Show will launch nationally on Monday, April 20.

Airing weekdays from 1pm to 2pm AEST across the Nova Network, the one-hour lunchtime show ushers in a new chapter for the longtime comedian and former Nova Drive presenter who was part of the top-rating Ricki-Lee, Tim & Joel trio.

Broadcasting from The Joel Creasey Show’s brand new Nova studio, Joel will now bring his irreverent humour and energy to a new lunchtime audience, featuring regular segments, celebrity guests and even the occasional appearance from Joel’s beloved mum, Jenny.

Joel said “Having trod the boards in the Australian spotlight for 20 years now (I started when I was 3), I have stories, anecdotes and famous friends that will tickle you pink.”

“We have truly broken the mould wide open with how the show is going to look and feel. When I say there’s been some construction happening over at Nova HQ…I mean high-vis and hard hats. It looks like Perth airport before the Kalgoorlie flight.”

“I cannot wait to add some razzle-dazzle to your lunchtime. Think of it this way: the plane has taken off and I’m the captain now! And I’ll be landing us in a new, exotic location each day on the cryptically titled The Joel Creasey Show. Please fasten your seatbelts!”

Nova Network’s Group Programming Director Brendan Taylor said “Joel is such a skilled broadcaster and comedian and this lunchtime show is a fantastic opportunity to showcase his enormous talents in a fresh new timeslot. Following the success of The Chrissie Swan Show, launching The Joel Creasey Show reinforces Nova’s commitment to creating high quality appointment listening in the workday. We’re really excited to welcome Joel to our weekday lineup.”

The Joel Creasey Show can be heard weekdays from Monday, April 20 nationally across the Nova Network from 1 to 2pm. Listeners can also stream the shows live or catch up with the daily podcast on the Nova Player.
