DAVE HUGHES
David William Hughes (born 26 November 1970) is an Australian stand-up comedian, television and radio presenter living in Sydney. He is known for his larrikin personality, drawling Australian accent, and deadpan comedic delivery. Hughes co-hosts Hughesy & Ed with Ed Kavalee on the Hit Network and hosts Hughesy, We Have a Problem on Network 10 and is also a guesser on The Masked Singer Australia with Jackie O, Lindsay Lohan and Dannii Minogue on Network 10. After leaving university, it was seven years before Hughes found work as a stand-up comedian and he did a variety of jobs including working at an abattoir, as a bricklayer's labourer and a shop assistant. After dreaming about being a comedian since he was a youngster, his first comedy gig came at age 22 when he was living in Perth doing labouring jobs and he decided, "I'm going to have a crack". Appearing onstage he acknowledges that he was "just horrible" but after three attempts over six months he gained his confidence and went on to become a headline act. He is a regular performer at the Melbourne International Comedy Festival. Some of his shows have been released on CD (Dave Hughes: Whatever), and on DVD (Dave Hughes, Live, Dave Hughes - Handy and David Hughes - Pointless).
