Dave O’Neil has been doing comedy for 30 years!

2019 has been a big year for Dave on TV, having appeared on ‘The Project’. ‘Celebrity Name Game’,

‘Hughsey We Have A Problem’ and ‘Have You Been Paying Attention’. Dave is most known for being the most regular guest on ABC TV’s ‘Spicks and Specks’ with over 50 appearances. Dave has written six books, his latest book released this year is ‘Parenting, Totally Unsupervised.’

“An atmosphere some comedians would kill to be able to generate, sitting in Dave O’Neil’s audience is genuinely to feel like you’ve stumbled into a relaxed conversation among friends… there’s an engaging affability… unprepossessingly good-spirited fun.” Chortle

“One of our most accomplished stand-ups.” The Age

With a double scoop of comedy, a generous serving of musical mayhem and some good old slapstick…The Swingin’ Martinis have put together a cocktail that any self-respecting Swinger will not want to miss out on!

Johnny Reid and Vinny Nowell (aka The Swingin’ Martinis) have worked together in various guises for over 20 years and it shows! They share the same dress sense (nothing less than a tuxedo) and from the very second they enter the room there is an energy and expertise to their show that is staggering.

They swing their way through an array of classic tunes that have the audience singing (and dancing) along at a cracking pace! But make no mistake, this show is not just about a couple of guys who can sing well, it is also a classic comedy double act that has elements of voluntary and contagious audience participation.

With a show that is high energy, musically entertaining, interactive and a whole lot of fun, many clients have felt the urge to say “Dean and Jerry live again”.

Like so many girls her age, little Dorothy Gale of Kansas dreams of what lies over the rainbow. One day a twister hits her farm and carries her away over the rainbow to another world. Come join Dorothy, the Scarecrow, the Tinman, the Cowardly Lion and Toto as they travel the universe of Dorothy’s imagination.
