Joe went to Cambridge University and then, for want of any better
ideas, taught English in Spain, France, and Canada and, from 1987,
New Zealand.
In 1998, Joe ran from the classroom to become a newspaper columnist.
He has twice been voted columnist of the year at Qantas Media Awards
and since leaving Cambridge has taught English in a variety of safe
countries, including Canada and New Zealand.
Joe blasts every topic with the limpid comic prose which has led to
his columns being syndicated throughout New Zealand and induced
international publishers Simon and Schuster to publish 2 collection
of his columns, “Fun Run and Other Oxymorons” and “Bedside
Lovers and Other Goats”, throughout the rest of the
English-speaking world. Now a freelance writer, Joe appears with
regular irregularity on television and National Radio and weekly on
national TV on TV One’s “Breakfast”.
He has written 8 books, compilations of his regular columns. “Just
Walking the Dogs”, “Sleeping Dogs and Other Lies”, “So Help Me Dog”,
“Sit and Barking”, “Dogmatic”, “Doggone” and “Unmuzzled”. He
has recently released two new books — the first, Land of Two Halves,
tells about his experiences hitch-hiking from one end of the New
Zealand to the other. The second is about his experiences
hitch-hiking around England.
Joe Bennett is a delightful after dinner speaker who captivates his
audience with down to earth Kiwi humour. As an MC he says he's even
better as he has full rein to orchestrate the entire proceedings.
Whichever way you choose to utilise Joe's talents you will not be
disappointed.
