Tracy Bartram (born 17 June, London, UK) is an Australian comedian, radio personality and singer. Although born in the UK, she grew up and resides in Melbourne, Australia.
She began performing stand-up comedy in 1989 while working in sales and marketing. Her first gig was a ten-minute stand-up comedy stint at the Hilton Hotel.
In 1994 Bartram joined Perth station 94.5FM and worked as a double act with Fred Botica. After three years she was lured back to her home town of Melbourne by Fox FM and co-hosted the breakfast programme with Matt Tilley. It held the number one FM breakfast show ratings for six years.
During her time at Fox FM she interviewed many high-profile celebrities on her own national 'Hour of Power' show. Favourites included Susan Sarandon, Kristin Davis, Anastacia, Ronan Keating, Matt Damon, Jodie Foster, Geoffrey Rush and Bob Geldof. After a two-year break from radio (2003–2005) she joined the Mix 101.1 team in March 2006 with the Tracy and Tim for Breakfast show (with Tim Smith). Bartram left that network in November 2007.
From 2008 to 2011, Bartram was the regular vacation breakfast show host on 774 ABC Melbourne.
Bartram also has a considerable television profile. First spotted in 1993 by producers of Perth's daytime TV show, Jenny Seaton Live and Mad About Movies, she was given regular comic reporting spots on those shows, as well as being the Perth link on In Melbourne Tonight.
She was also a regular panellist on Beauty and the Beast, Good Morning Australia, Rove Live, Battle of the Sexes and Mornings with Kerri-Anne.
