016: Dave O’Neil – From Captain Cocoa to Captaining Aussie Comedy

Chances are you've laughed at a Dave O'Neil joke. This is because
not only is he a seasoned stand-up comedian, but dave's been
writing for Australian TV comedy shows since 1994 - television
shows such as Jimeoin, The Eric Bana Show Live, Full Frontal,
Totally Full Frontal, The Mick Molloy Show, The Micallef Program,
and most recently Open Slather and You're Skitting Me. Thank god
his band broke up and he lost his job - the prelude to his comedy
career - or Australian comedy wouldn't be as funny.


In this School of Hard Knock Knocks podcast episode, Dave O'Neil
explains why he hates being a morning person, but loves looking
like a lesbian, and how his shtick has moved from 'slacker'
to 'suburban dad'.
