Comedian Dave O’Neil Shows PM Gillard What He Really Thinks of Her in I Heart Julia at Trades Hall
Well-loved comedian Dave O’Neil is being honest about his feelings with his latest stand up show I Heart Julia. Performed in the Labour heartland at Trades Hall, the show is running for FIVE NIGHTS ONLY from 17th- 21st August in the lead up to the Election.
Just a few months ago Dave broke his leg, which prevented him from performing his first solo show in four years at Melbourne International Comedy Festival, and after recently finishing on full-time radio after nine years, Julia Gillard has given him the inspiration to get back to his roots again.
“ I haven’t fallen this hard for a red head since Ronald McDonald”, Dave said when probed further about his love for the current Prime Minister. “ Damn that Tim bloke, I could do a pretty good blow-dry too”.
Dave is no stranger to election campaigns either, and during the last federal election in 2007, he stood as the Independent candidate for the seat of Gellibrand against Health Minister Nicola Roxon. He received a total of 2.3% of votes, which was a proud moment for him and his Party Pie Party followers.
“I got more votes than The Democrats and Family First put together, admittedly most people who voted for me were drunk at the time ”, Dave reflects.
Dave will also reveal his shady past in student politics, where he belonged to the Labour club at University. Dave was a card-carrying member the very same time our Julia was active on campus.
“In 1985 I went to the same Young Labour Conference as Julia Gillard, I could have pashed her there except I got stuck next to a very young ambitious man called Bill Shorten, what ever happened to him? And he was a terrible kisser...”
In his nineteen years on the Australian comedy scene, Dave has worked extensively in radio, television, film, print media and on the live comedy circuit.
Dave is also a regular on ABC TV’s Spicks and Specks and has appeared on Channel 10’s The Panel, Rove Live, Australia’s Brainiest Comedian and Comedy Festival Gala. He is the Author of several books including ‘Unfit for Life’ and his most recent effort ‘Everything tastes better crumbed.’
So if you don’t want to watch the news coverage, come down and share the funny side of the Election with Dave O’Neil in I Heart Julia!
