Kym Gyngell (born 15 April 1952) is an Australian comedian.
He appeared in The Comedy Company and developed several popular characters, a few of which survived beyond The Comedy Company.
One of his characters, Col'n Carpenter (who neglects to pronounce the letter 'i' in his name Colin), is a slow Australian with unique speech mannerisms. Col'n went on to have his own sitcom that ran for two seasons.
In the early 1990's, Gyngell appeared in a series of public service announcements for the Alcohol Advisory Council of New Zealand.
Gyngell was a regular on the popular Australian series Full Frontal during the mid-90's, where he starred alongside Eric Bana before Bana attained Hollywood fame.
