Wednesday 17th February: For Random Act of Kindness Day, Joel Creasey surprised five unsuspecting Melbournians who have been nominated by friends and family to receive a special Amazon Prime package, worth up to $1,000. 

Amazon Australia teamed up with Joel, who features on Amazon Prime Original, LOL: Last One Laughing AU, and his stand-up special Joel Creasey: Fame Whore, to help deliver a little piece of kindness and bring a smile to the faces of five deserving Melbournians.

The five recipients were recognised for their incredible resilience with each of them suffering a tough 2020 including personal tragedy, redundancy and health issues.

The special Amazon Prime packages were personally curated by their friends and family that nominated them through the Amazon competition, including beauty products, tech gadgets, video games and gift cards all available on amazon.com.au.

“A huge thanks to Joel Creasey and Amazon Australia for this Random Act of Kindness. It’s single-handedly the most incredible gift and expression of support I have ever received. Absolutely life changing!” said Andrew Gosling, one of the five recipients.

“These Aussie legends have just been getting on with it despite all the challenges and hardship thrown at them,” said Joel Creasey. “It was incredible hearing their stories and it really showed that we don’t know what the person walking past on the street has gone through. It makes the world of difference these little random acts of kindness and I’m so happy to have partnered up with Amazon Australia for the day.”
