Marty Sheargold, troubled radio star, gears up for a comeback, but not on his Triple M Breakfast show

Marty Sheargold is returning to the public eye after taking a leave of absence from his Triple M breakfast show.

Earlier this year, the radio host, 52, officially announced an ‘extended break’ from work following an alleged incident at the AFL Grand Final. 

It was claimed Sheargold was ejected by security due to a number of offensive comments he allegedly made to other guests at a corporate event.

Neither Sheargold or Triple M’s parent company Southern Cross Austereo have confirmed whether the radio star will return to his breakfast show in 2024.

However, he will be returning to his roots in stand up as he stars alongside comedians Mick Molloy, Lawrence Mooney, and Sam Pang for a special event called The Comedians at the Geelong Arts Centre in February.

According to a promo, the all-star show will be ‘No holds barred, good old fashioned stand-up comedy.’ 

‘Radio, television, film, podcasts, they’ve done it all and now, they bring all the laughs to the stage.’ 

In November, Sheargold’s show scored a ratings jump in his absence, enjoying a 7.2 percent audience share, up 1.4 percent from the previous survey. 

The Marty Sheargold Show previously rated 5.8, placing it in eighth spot in the Melbourne breakfast radio market. 

Sheargold’s producer Loren Barry was in Sydney in October as one of the hosts of the ACRA Awards.

She told The Herald Sun that Sheargold would be back, assuring the show’s listeners that ‘everything is fine’.

‘He is just taking some time, he is just spending some time with his family, but we are all good,’ Barry said.

‘Everything is fine. We will be back.’

She also shone a light on the gruelling life behind the microphone, stating ‘working in breakfast radio you just get really tired. It is a very tiring job’.

Marty also stars in the ABC sitcom Fisk, which was picked up by Netflix and has taken off in the UK and US.

Daily Mail Australia has reached out to SCA for comment.
