Rees was born in Frankston, Victoria and grew up in Mount Eliza, Victoria and moved to the Central Coast of New South Wales, at age 22, to star as "Jimmy Giggle" in the ABC children's programme Giggle and Hoot (filmed in the ABC's Ultimo studios).
Rees was the host of the Australian ABC children's programme Giggle and Hoot from 2009 to 2020.

He is portrayed as having a brilliant talent in creating new things out of regular items.
He also plays several musical instruments in the programme, including the ukulele, double bass, baritone saxophone, piano and guitar.
It was reported that Rees beat 5,000 other actors to win the role, and moved to the Central Coast from his home town in Victoria for the role.

In November 2019, Rees announced that he had decided to end his stint with Giggle and Hoot.
He was quoted as saying that he had decided to move on to a different phase of his life.
The show's "gruelling schedule", involving shooting for 47 weeks a year, had made it difficult for his growing family of three young children.
In 2020 he started releasing short humorous videos on TikTok and YouTube, covering topics such as parenting, packaging and the COVID-19 pandemic.
His most well-known videos are those in a series called "Meanwhile in Australia", where he plays the role of each state and territory negotiating lockdowns, borders and vaccinations.
