Award-winning comedian and podcaster Guy Montgomery is certainly driving audiences crazy- for him.

He's appeared on our screens in Guy Mont-Spelling Bee, Taskmaster, and Have You Been Paying Attention?, as well as a brief stint on Celebrity Treasure Island.

This week, Guy Montgomery took out the Best of the Fest prize and is in the running for a Fred Award for his show 'My Brain Is Blowing Me Crazy'.

He says he never expected to win the top prize for the Sydney Comedy Festival, describing the experience as a 'working holiday'.

"I was in Wellington when I found out, I couldn't believe it. I didn't even realise they were judging the damn thing, I thought I was being funny."
