What's so funny!?

While I'm not that fond of Dave Hughes, I know lots of people out there are. Whether it's his 'agro' episodes, his voice or his everyman appeal, it's up to you. Check out his comic talent in his new DVD:

[From the press release]
Dave Hughes is perhaps one of the most important and significant talents to have emerged from the Australian comedy scene in the last ten years. A natural and un- mistakably Australian comic, Dave’s laconic style thinly disguises one of the fastest comic minds this country has ever seen.

It was at the Melbourne Comedy Festival in 1999 that Hughesy was forced to move from a tiny upstairs city bar into a 300-seat room at the Melbourne Town Hall. Word had started to spread about this impossibly laid back guy from Warrnambool.

Since 1999, the word has spread even further and Hughesy has become one of the biggest and most loved names in Australian stand up comedy. Honest and imperfect is how Australians like their comedy and Dave Hughes delivers exactly that in spades.

Along with Kate Langbroek, Hughesy makes up Mel- bourne’s Nova 100 breakfast team. He can be seen on Network Ten’s Before the Game during the AFL footy season, and on the highly successful light-entertain- ment program, Rove. And if that’s not enough, he can now also be seen on the new Channel 10 news enter- tainment program The 7PM Project.

His very first DVD, aptly titled Dave Hughes LIVE was released in September 2006 through Liberation Music. It quickly went on to go 7 times platinum.

The most powerful testimony to Dave’s talent is his enduring popularity with audiences. He has over the course of the last five years become one of the highest selling Australian comedy acts in the country. He hit the road in 2009, with his latest solo show offering, Dave Hughes is Handy. And now Liberation Music is proud to release the DVD of that show, Dave Hughes Is Handy. Featuring all brand new material, this new DVD cements Dave’s position at the top of the Australian comedy pantheon.

The DVD features a full length show recorded at the 2009 Melbourne International Comedy Festival, along with bonus features including exclusive backstage footage and ‘At Home With The Hugheses’, an intimate and personal look at Dave’s family life in his Melbourne home.
