Dane comes from a long line of funny buggers. A wisecracking Dad, a cleverly cutting Mum, hilarious grandparents, and generations of jokers, pranksters and yarnspinners.

Now Dane is here putting the 'rad' into 'traditional'. He always was, always will be…funny. For 60,000 years of belly-laughs.

Arguably Wagga Wagga's finest export, Dane has made countless TV appearances, including the Melbourne International Comedy Festival Gala, Have You Been Paying Attention?, Guy Montgomery’s Guy Mont-Spelling Bee, Wil Anderson's Question Everything, The Hundred with Andy Lee, SBS's Celebrity Letters & Numbers, and even on the big screen in zombie movie Residence and rom-com The Merger. With a string of sold-out live comedy shows across Australia and in the UK, he’s returning to Burrinja with a whole lot of gutbusting jokes and damned funny stories.

Dane is as excited as a puppy in a room full of tennis balls to be heading your way to make you laugh with Always Was Always Will Be…Funny.

"Side splitting down to earth humour… how often do you go to a comedy show where you laugh until your sides hurt?"– Glamadelaide

"One of the most personable comedians in Australia…optimistic, upbeat and effortlessly charming". – Chortle (UK)
