  • Imagine being in the back seat of a car eavesdropping on a conversation between Dave O'Neil and the legends of Australian comedy (actually 'legend' is how Dave describes everyone). It's a great insight into how many of Australia's top comedy performers got to where they are and how they continue to hone their skills.... And it's just simply entertaining.
