Djovan is best known for creating Lessons with Luis and for possessing a phonetically-challenging name that confuses most. He resides in Melbourne, Australia, where he writes, directs, performs and produces off-centre silliness for stage and screen.

​

Lessons with Luis - a family act of suburban showbiz weirdos - burst onto the Australian comedy scene in 2012. Djovan is the frontman and took out the open-mic Raw Comedy

title and the Golden Gibbo (Best Independent Show) award at the Melbourne

International Comedy Festival in the same year. A year later, he received a

Moosehead Award, paving the way for Lessons with Luis' second stage show,

Famoucity - boasting "Humphries-level character work" (The Age).

​

Djovan won the 'Best Comedy' Antenna Award in 2014 for Famous with Luis, a talk show parody which saw him interviewing and politely pranking celebrities, including Andrew Denton. He hosted and produced Fishcam, a live television variety series made with the assistance of the Community Broadcasting Foundation. Catcam, another live-to-air series made on a minuscule budget, trended on Twitter each week across Victoria.

​

In 2016, his solo Melbourne International Comedy Festival show,

Lessons with Luis, merited him a second Golden Gibbo nomination

and a nervous handshake with Barry Humphries.

​​

Djovan co-created and performed in Headswapsies with Mitch

McTaggart for ABC Comedy. He also voiced multiple characters

in Tony Martin and Sarina Rowell's podcast-sitcom, Childproof.

​

Djovan wrote and performed in Stickin' Together

produced by Julz Hay Presents for the 2019 Melbourne

International Comedy Festival, which saw him collaborating

with Australian TV legend, Pete Smith.

​

Most recently, Djovan joined the cast of Mitch McTaggart's

The Last Year of Television and The Backside of Television

(SBS Viceland). Off camera he has kept busy producing and

editing Shut Up, a new comedy series starring

Celia Pacquola and Debra Lawrance, written by

Sarina Rowell and directed by Tony Martin.
