He's one of Australia's top comedians.

So Hamish Blake has used his humour to urge fans to remain sun-safe and get skin checks after having skin cancer cut from his nose.

Guys I have a secret to tell you: there are several band aids on my nose. You would never know this if I didn't tell you because they are skin coloured and therefore, according to the medical industry, perfectly camouflaged. But I feel it's better to be honest. I don't just have a beautiful, natural, large, handsome, very rough textured nose. (PS get skin checks)
