Sydney born and raised, Jim Rochford's comedy has been described as “Serious discussion that accidentally ends up as comedy” (it's Jim that says that). With a tongue permanently in cheek, his mischievous, satirical, storytelling approach has been working Sydney Stand up rooms for the past 3 years. Being born the middle child of five, Jim brings a lifetime of “unfortunate” stories to life on stage every night. In 2003 Jim was a semi finalist in Raw Comedy, In 2005 he was in the final 4 to win $50000 in 2dayfms Australian Comedy God Competition. In 2007 he was a finalist in the Nova 969 Crunchy nut comedy Competition. He won none of these and claims to have evidence they were all rigged.

Following the 2Day FM Comedy God Jim and another contestant Jacques Barrett were hand picked by Pete Helliar and Judith Lucy to take their comedy to both stage and radio. As a writer, anchor, panellist, and announcer he and Jacques Barrett were to become 2 Day FM's dynamic duo “The Wagon”, on air 2005 – 2006. A comedy show that brought a breath of fresh, irreverent, and borderline air to 2 Day FM's mainstream status quo. The show developed the double act that is Jacques and Jim and progressed them into the hard to crack nut that is commercial TV. The antics of both Jacques and Jim can be seen on Channel 9's late night success Ralph TV, as the field reporters who hunt down the stories that matter most.
Together Jacques and Jim bring an original viewpoint to the male duo dynamic. With wit, warmth and conflict they're a genuine piss take on modern society.
However, despite his love of all things comedy Jim has his another mistress, Sports Television and he is currently a full time Associate Producer at Fox Sports working on both International and Super 14 rugby, as well as all things golf.
