068: Dave O'Neil - Producing 'Dave' for Pilot Week

Dave O'Neil has been performing stand-up comedy for an incredible
29 years. It was only fitting that a TV show about his life
should be made, and in this School of Hard Knock Knocks podcast
Dave and I talk about producing 'Dave' - the show about 'Dave'.
We discuss the politics of the TV world, casting stand-up
comedians as actor, podcasting, and the financial benefits of
bring a comedy writer and not performer.


And one more thing, Dave is most certainly NOT starting his own
stand-up comedy course. Not that I was worried. In September we
have the incredible Glynn Nicholas and Greg Fleet, at our
Adelaide and Melbourne stand-up comedy courses, respectively. If
you'd like to get along and get coached by two of the most
experienced comedians in Australia, who aren't Dave O'Neil, be
