Human. Comedian. Sometimes actor and breathing enthusiast.
With his accessible humour and free flowing style, Dave’s success as a comic has quickly broadened into a range of performance credits on TV, radio and stage.
Starting from humble beginnings hosting Channel 31’s live chat show Studio A Dave has gone on to appear as a panelist on Good News Week, Talkin’ ‘bout Your Generation and The 7pm Project. He was also a weekly team member on Channel 7’s panel show The White Room…for both weeks it was on air.
Dave was a regular on Comedy Inc- The Late Shift in 2007 and showed another side by (pseudo) serious acting in an ongoing role in ABC’s Bed of Roses, which aired in 2008. Alas his character in BOR went off to Perth and has since never returned for the preceding 2 seasons (I think the time difference is too much for him to handle)
Live performing however is really where Dave revels. His solo debut performance at the 2007 Melbourne International Comedy Festival garnered a nomination for ‘Best Newcomer’ for his show Euromission. He has returned to the Comedy Festival each year since and in 2010 toured extensively, both nationally and internationally, with his best show to date A Different Type of Normal. Debuting at the Adelaide Fringe Festival, Sydney Comedy and Montreal Just For Laughs Festival and including a return to Edinburgh, the biggest Fringe Festival in the world, Dave certainly has gained if anything a lot of Frequent Flyer points.
To add to his resume Dave also lent his hand to radio while doing both the national Summer and Winter programmes on NovaFM last year and has just finished his first year of Saturday mornings 10am-midday radio slots.
Dave has worked with such comedians as Adam Hills, Dave O’Doherty (IRE), Tripod, Dave Hughes and many, many more.
In all of this he still fits in time to play, or more to the fact limp through, division-C Thursday night basketball.
He is a Sagittarian who enjoys long walks in the park and getting caught in the rain.
