Adam Barrington Spencer (born 29 January 1969) is an Australian radio presenter, comedian, and media personality. He first came to fame when he won his round of the comedic talent search Raw Comedy in 1996. Soon thereafter, he began working at Triple J, on mid-dawn and drive shifts before hosting the Triple J Breakfast Show with Wil Anderson. He later hosted Breakfast on 702 ABC Sydney.

He is a patron of science-related events and programs, including the University of Sydney's Eureka Prize, science prize.[2] He is a member of the Sleek Geek Week tour along with Karl Kruszelnicki, as well as performing his own comedy at events around the country.

In October 2015 he was named as the number one ticket holder for the Sydney Swans for season 2016, where he is also a regular MC for events and presentations.[3]

Early life

Born on 29 January 1969, in Sydney, Spencer grew up in the Hunters Hill/Gladesville area.[4]

A few hours after birth, he suffered a seizure, and then doctors found blood between his brain and scalp. Twice in the first two days of his life, a priest was called to give the last rites.[5] Between the ages of three until about 11, Spencer underwent a series of operations by eye surgeon Fred Hollows.[6] The deadening of the eyelid muscle led to permanent ptosis (drooping of the upper eyelid) and noticeable facial asymmetry.[7][8] He later received a transplant from a donor (who had been in a motorcycle accident) in an operation, allowing him to "open" that eye.

His father, Larry, delivered Fairfax newspapers for 40 years. Larry died from prostate cancer in 2004.[7] His mother worked in the canteen of Hunters Hill High School. He has a brother David, and a younger sister, Leisha.[4]

Spencer attended Boronia Park Public School,[9] where his favourite teacher, Ms Russell, nurtured his lifelong love of mathematics when he was in second grade, in 1976.[10][11] In 1981 he won a scholarship to attend St Aloysius' College in Sydney,[12] and was a vice-captain of the College and Captain of the Australian Schools Debating Team. He graduated with a score of 200 out of 200 in four-unit maths.[13]

His earliest job was selling newspapers,[14] and then during university, worked as a dishwasher at a pancake restaurant.[15] He was a member of Scouts Australia.[16]

He was the first in his family to attend university, and originally enrolled to study arts-law. This included economics and philosophy, but he dropped out of those subjects[17] and took up maths to "round it out", but eventually changed to a maths major.[18] He graduated from the University of Sydney with a Bachelor of Science with first class honours in pure mathematics in 1991.[19] While at university, he was one of the world's top-ranked debaters, reaching the final round of the World Universities Debating Championship three times (1990, 1992, 1996) and winning World's Best Individual Speaker (1996).[20][21] He also won the Australasian debating championship twice (1988, 1990). He was also President of the University of Sydney Union.[17]

Career

He was secretly entered into the Triple J Raw Comedy Championship in 1996 by a former girlfriend,[22] and won the NSW championship[23] (although this has also been reported as winning the second prize, as he came second in the national competition).[24][25][26]
