Eddie Perfect (born 17 December 1977) is an Australian singer-songwriter, pianist, comedian, writer and actor.

Widely known for his role as Mick Holland in Channel Ten's TV series Offspring in which he performs his own music,[1] he has recorded solo albums and written and performed numerous cabaret shows, including Songs from the Middle with the Brodsky Quartet. His biographical musical comedy Shane Warne: The Musical won the 2009 Helpmann Award for Best New Australian Work, a Victorian Premier's Literary Award and a Green Room Award.[2][3][4][5] Following his songwriting career on Broadway, where he composed Beetlejuice and King Kong, Perfect returned to Australia where he was to star as Franklin Hart Jr. in Dolly Parton's musical 9 to 5 in late 2020,[6] although it was subsequently indefinitely postponed due to the COVID-19 pandemic.
