Dave O’Neil – Overweight Lightweight – 2024 – Ipswich Civic Centre

Presented by the Ipswich Civic Centre

Fat funny man Dave O’Neil is taking his brand new stand-up show, Overweight Lightweight on the road after playing to sold out audiences across the Melbourne International Comedy Festival receiving spectacular reviews. Dave will be joined by his friend and regular on The Debrief podcast, Brad Oakes (Hey Hey it’s Saturday, Comedy Company) for what will be a night of laughs with two of Australia’s longest working comedians.

Bonus opportunity for local aspiring comedians to attend a masterclass conducted by Brad Oakes.

Dave O’Neil may call himself a lightweight, but with over 30 years of experience, his cheeky brand of humour has made him one of Australia’s most loved comedians. With years of breakfast radio on Nova, frequent appearances on Spicks and Specks, a bunch of podcasts (including Somehow Related with Glenn Robbins and The Junkees with Kitty Flanagan) and a reputation for taking any corporate gig he is offered, it takes a lot to throw this comedian off his game.

Brad Oakes is a stand-up comic with a career spanning over 25 years. Best known for his TV work on Hey Hey It’s Saturday, Totally Full Frontal and The Comedy Company, Brad Oakes has headlined every major stand-up venue in Australia and toured internationally as a stand-up to Edinburgh, United Kingdom, Singapore, New Zealand and Dubai.
