Dr George Catsi
George is a national award-winning performance writer, performer, comic, academic, and producer overlapping film, theatre, health, and education. National AWGIE winner plus the winner of the Kit Denton Fellowship for courage & excellence in performance writing for his satirical evangelical comedy I Want to Be Slim. He has written and performed his comedic memoir show Am I Who I Say I Am? across 4 seasons. Co-created, wrote, and performed in satirical comedy cabaret trio Gods Cowboys that toured extensively in Australia.
In 2024, George was honoured as the Inner West Citizen of the Year.

A regarded speaker, presenter, and host – was invited to host the national show ABC Radio Sydney covering Christine Anu’s leave.
As an academic George brings a wealth of real-world and teaching experience to the JMC Masters of Creative Industries. At UTS he has taught in Design Thinking, Animation, Media Arts, and Communications facilitating creative, innovative and entrepreneurial outcomes. His PhD explored persuasive performance and selling of truth by evangelicals against a background of satire. Amongst others was EP/owner Flickerfest International Short Film Festival + EP / visioned health TV channel – RPAtv (shortlisted NSW Premiers Award). As a media producer, he has produced/directed/written numerous educational and corporate films as well as worked in design for TV.
