Tony Moclair (born 4th of September 1969 in Cork, Ireland) is an Australian comedy actor, writer, performer and radio broadcaster. He has worked on various Australian radio networks, often appearing in character rather than as himself.
Moclair has a successful and varied radio career hosting radio shows on a variety of Australian radio stations both as himself and on occasions, in the guise of some of his many character creations.
Guido Hatzis is a Greek-Australian comic character created by Tony Moclair and Julian Schiller and voiced by Moclair. Guido appeared originally in the context of Schiller and Moclair's radio program "Crud" on the Triple M network. Several albums have been released in the name of Guido Hatzis, the first two winning including Do Not Talk Over Me in 1999 (platinum sales, winner of 2001 ARIA for Best Comedy Release) Whatever in 2000 (Platinum sales and winner of 2002 ARIA of Best Comedy Release) and Deported in 2002 (Gold sales) . Most of Hatzis's comedy involves making prank calls that are usually centred on outrageous claims about his looks and abilities. Moclair appropriated the last name "Hatzis" from friend and sometime producer of the "Crud" program, fellow broadcaster and actor Chris Hatzis.
Restoring the Balance was a satirical radio segment that appeared at various times in 2003-2004, 2007 and 2011 on radio station Triple J. The segment attempted to display the contrasting political views between the conservative Australian Howard government, and the majority of the Left wing government-funded Triple J radio station.
Tony Moclair (aka Tony Kelly), along with Chris Hatzis and Julian Schiller have hosted the long running breakfast program on 3RRR 102.7 FM, The Breakfasters.
In August 2004 Schiller and Moclair signed on to do breakfast radio at Nova 91.9, a new Adelaide station.
In the mid 2000s Moclair presented weekday breakfast radio on ABC Radio, Adelaide.
In October 2007, Triple M launched a new podcast only show hosted by Moclair's new character DJ Domm. The show was cancelled by Triple M after Episode 21.
Along with Rachel Berger, Moclair hosted breakfast on 774 ABC Melbourne over the 2007/2008 Summer and also appeared on Conversation Hour with Jon Faine.
