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 sure to log onto www.schoolofhardknockknocks.com.
