BORN FUNNY EP3 | Dave 'Hughesy' Hughes and How He Recovered From Being Sacked From His First Radio Gig
21 May 2023
Dave Hughes is one of Australia's fastest comedic minds. Turning everyday tales into rich and hilarious routines delivered in his classic laconic style, Hughesy owns the stage, radio and TV game. In this episode Hughesy talks of how he went from high school dux and wannabe lawyer to an integral part of the Australian media landscape. He chats with Jimmy & Nath about the highs and the lows of the industry and how a guy literally named Rat was his first hater. Hughesy discusses why he stopped drinking before starting comedy and how he was teased at school for being ugly. Hughesy dives into the time he went on the dole for seven years before finding work as a stand-up comic and how his voice was a hurdle in his career. TUNE IN AND FIND OUT IF DAVE HUGHES WAS BORN FUNNY.
