An "Australia’s Got Talent" hopeful was charged of copying almost word-for-word another comedian’s act. Gold Coast native, Jordan Paris consistently wowed the judges with a Robbie Williams’ caricature.

No one would have noticed it but eventually it all became apparent that the contest punch lines were copied from Lee Mack, a British comic artist.

When asked by the press, the Australia’s Got talent wannabe confirmed that indeed he is familiar with Mack’s antics. NineMSN noted Paris was quoted by Gold Coast Bulletin as saying: “a joke's a joke and if it's making people laugh then I'm happy.”

But Mack took the copycat level-headedly, quoted by Chortle news as saying, 'this Australian comedy genius is being unfairly treated. It's clearly his own material and not plagiarised from me, because I say "150 quid" whereas he says "150 dollars."
