As one half of Merrick and Rosso, Merrick Watts took Triple J drive to ratings highs, was the first voice on the NOVA network and built a cult TV fan base with shows on Nine, Ten and the Comedy Channel.
As a solo performer, Merrick has carved out a new course: as an actor on The Hollowmen and Underbelly; and as a comedian, touring a solo show for the first time in 2017 with Man of the House and appearing on TV shows such as Thank God You're Here, The Project, and Hughesy We Have a Problem. He's also been performing regularly as a panellist on Network Ten's Studio 10.
Merrick started a series of stand up gigs called Grapes of Mirth in 2018 which tour a range of his stand-up comedian mates to wineries around the country for acclaimed sell out shows.
In 2020, Merrick undertook a physically and psychologically demanding training course as part of his appearance in Channel 7's SAS: Australia. The record-breaking show saw Merrick push himself to the limit as he underwent a series of tests from the real SAS selection process.
There are over 24 million people in this country and you'd be hard-pressed to find one that doesn't know this radio veteran's name.
