Jeff (The Wiggles) Cosplay Costumes
Jeff wore purple for his 21-year stint performing in The Wiggles. According to Jeff, it took him 12 months to “learn the language of preschool,” as he describes it. His lack of knowledge in early childhood education made him hesitant to create a children’s album. But, it was Jeff who started favorites like “Henry the Octopus,” one of the Wiggles’ characters. He also lends his voice to the role of Wags the Dog. He later admitted that his first performance as a Wiggle was a traumatic experience because he wasn’t used to being around kids. He is known for falling asleep at odd times. His tendency to fall asleep is why one of the Wiggles songs is titled “Wake Up, Jeff!” which also became a Wiggles catchphrase.

In 2006, Fatt and the other original members of The Wiggles received honorary doctorates from the Australian Catholic University.
