Denise Scott and Dave O’Neil head for the NSW coast.
Two of Australia’s most loved comics are teaming up for a quick tour of Northern NSW. Well, they’re both from Melbourne and they’re just dying to get away from the cold weather!
They are doing four dates – Byron Bay, Bangalow, Coffs Harbor and Bellingen. Helping them out of two of the four dates is local comic Mandy Nolan.
Denise Scott
Denise Scott first started working as a professional actor and comedian nearly thirty years ago, but it has been in the last decade or so that Scotty has gone supernova – winning awards, selling out theatres, appearing on high-rating TV shows and writing two popular memoirs.
Scotty has been and remains a favourite guest on many of Australia’s favourite TV shows, including Spicks and Specks, The Project, and Talkin’ ‘bout Your Generation, in addition to starring as Trish Gross on Channel 7’s high-rating drama Winners & Losers.
Last year saw Denise return to the stage once more with a new, BARRY AWARD-WINNING solo show, Mother Bare, at the Adelaide Fringe, the Melbourne International Comedy Festival, the Sydney Opera House and the Brisbane Powerhouse. In 2009 Denise penned All That Happened at Number 26, a book which became a national bestseller and a hit tour, with sell-out seasons at the Melbourne International Comedy Festival and the Sydney Opera House.

Dave O’Neil
Dave O’Neil has been in the business of comedy for over 25 years. On-screen you will have seen Dave as Team Captain in the ABC TV comedy quiz show Tractor Monkeys, as well as dishing out life advice in The Agony of Life, The Agony of Modern Manners, Can of Worms, plus messing about on Adam Hills In Gordon Street Tonight and Good News Week. He is probably most well known for the honour of being the guest with the most appearances (over 50) on ABC TV’s ever-popular Spicks & Specks.
He has written several books, including Everything Tastes Better Crumbed… and other BIG Statements, has written and acted in films (including starring alongside Eric Bana in ‘The Nugget’), and contributed to numerous sketch comedy shows.
Mandy Nolan is a Byron Bay local and has just released her third book ‘Home truths.’ She has been doing comedy for 25 years and appeared on TV shows as diverse as Q&A, Good News Week and The Project.
