Increasing talk of political opinions as being ‘fact’ have put me off. Sorry Dave and Brad, it’s no longer for me.
Thanks Dave Great to hear from some of Australia’s present and legendary comedians Keep it up and let’s maybe hear from a few old school comics from Melbourne and Sydney
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.
A fascinating peek into the life of comedians. Dave is a brilliant conversationalist. He brings out the best in every guest. His chuckle is a delight.
Good chat with comedians in cars. It even has its own theme tune.
