He has had a host of experiences that most Australian comedians complete in a career, not just in the space of 365-ish days.

He has been hand-plucked as a support for one of the US's best-known funny people, filmed a DVD, performed for Aussie troops overseas, and starred in two TV shows.

Oh, and he's been to Tasmania three times in the past month.

As well as having an arsenal of good jokes, Cody also has impeccable taste in Tassie towns.

"I love the vast majority of what I have seen on Tasmania. Lonnie and Hobart being the absolute faves. Devonport I didn't like one bit and look forward to giving it a lot of shit when I get back on stage in Tassie," Cody said.

"I don't like the fact that the Spirit of Tasmania links Melbourne, numerous times voted world's most liveable city, to Devonport, one of the worst places I've ever been. That even includes my trips to Afghanistan and Outback WA."

Which is handy, given that Cody will be performing in Hobart next Thursday and at Launceston's Fresh Comedy next Friday, skipping over the North-West city.

If Cody's head looks familiar, it could be because you've seen it on Josh Thomas's hugely popular Please Like Me, where he plays character "Steve".

"I was really nervous before the Please Like Me shoot," Cody said.

"It's an international award- winning drama-comedy and I had never had acting lessons.

"Luckily, I was playing the role of a man who gets drunk and belligerent at a barbecue, a role that I had unknowingly been preparing for my entire adult life.

"Being a stand-up comic means that I am also used to an immediate reaction from a crowd.

"On a TV set, you usually just hear 'cut' once you've finished the scene and it took me a while to realise that if they move on to the next scene, it means you did a good job. At least that's what I told myself."

Cody also starred in Troy Kinne's Kinne, a comedy sketch show that has just been announced for a second season.

As for his personal highlights, Cody has a couple.

He was chosen to support Bill Burr at a 2012 gig at the Sydney Opera House - chosen by Burr himself.

"I'd been a fan of his for close to 10 years and was actually at the show in Philadelphia where he got booed onstage, then proceeded to hilariously destroy the crowd and receive a standing ovation," Cody said.

"I was thrilled that he picked me, then when we were backstage at The Opera House, he gave me some awesome advice about stand-up and performing that I'll never forget."

He also noted performing for Aussie troops in Afghanistan, Dubai and onboard the HMAS Melbourne as a high point from the past year or so.

And what is next for Cody?

He said he was gearing up for 2015's Comedy Festivals and preparing for a bunch of gigs in the US.

"I'm also about to go for my driver's licence. I still don't have it at 27 so now it's just getting sad."
