Merrick Watts Stand up

They performed at numerous comedy festivals and had numerous stand-up appearances and comedy tours throughout Australia. Merrick and Rosso, The Book and Merrick and Rosso, The Book Volume 2 were also released by them.
Merrick Watts House
Watts and his better half Georgie have made their next property play following the record-breaking offer of their inward west changed-over distribution center a year ago. According to CoreLogic records, the couple is moving to Maroubra, in Sydney’s eastern suburbs, where they will purchase a six-bedroom house that was once a church. At the end of last year, after the century-old church failed to sell at auction, Watts purchased it for $3.75 million.
It is believed that the house, which is located a few streets away from the beach, has been settled over the past two months. Watts stated on Channel 7’s The Morning Show earlier this month that he was glad to have moved to Maroubra from the inner west. The main bedroom has built-in wardrobes in addition to established gardens, a gas kitchen, and soaring period ceilings that conceal a loft.
In addition, Watts has a lot of experience carrying out major renovations because his epic converted warehouse set a record for the Lilyfield suburb when it sold for $6.2 million last year. He and his wife Georgie hired architect Virginia Kerridge to turn it into a sustainable family home with five bedrooms, a 500-bottle wine cellar, a rooftop pool, a library wall 5 meters high, and a suspended fireplace. Cherie Barber, a renovation expert, bought the Lilyfield house, which used to be the factory for the Oh Boy Candy company. It appears that no DA plans have been submitted for Watts’ property, so keep an eye on this.
Merrick Watts Radio Shows
Watts began his career in radio with Tim Ross at Triple J by appearing as Merrick and Rosso on the drive-time program on Triple J radio every week in 1998. In 2001, they moved to the newly established commercial radio station Nova 96.9 for the breakfast radio shift, where they became full-time presenters. Co-has on the morning meal show included Katrina Blowers, Sami Lukis and Kate Ritchie. In 2009, Ross left the popular radio show. Merrick continued hosting the breakfast show in 2010 alongside new co-hosts Scott Dooley and Ricki-Lee Coulter, but on September 2, 2011, he announced his departure from the station and the show.
Watts joined Triple M in September 2011 and hosted a drive-and-night show with Rachel Corbett and Julian “Jules” Schiller called Merrick and the Highway Patrol. The radio program was dropped because of unfortunate appraisals and reached a conclusion in November 2013. At the end of 2013, it was announced that Merrick, Jules Lund, Sophie Monk, and Mel B would co-host the new Breakfast show on 2Day FM, which would take over for The Kyle and Jackie O Show.
Southern Cross Austereo announced in October 2014 that The Dan & Maz Show would take the place of Jules, Merrick & Sophie on 2Day FM due to low ratings throughout the year. Watts went back to Triple M in 2015 to host his own drive show, Merrick and Australia, which became Merrickville later on.
