Dave Eastgate

Dave  Eastgate  is  to  the  local  comic  industry  what  the  engine  is  to  an  automobile.  That  is  right!  Dave is  the ‘powerhouse’ of the comedy in Australia, thanks to the pulsating energy of his shows. He is currently completing his 18th year as a stand-up artist, and it seems he has way to go. Dave is an evergreen humorist who has proven himself  to  be  a  dependable laughter monger  throughout his  career.  Dave  spent  his childhood  at Port  Moresby, where he attended a local school for performing arts and decided to become an entertainer. His first few gigs were at theme parks and low-key restaurants. However, the desolate parks around him soon transformed into packed theatres, as his comic talents were too immense to be contained.

Dave  has  secured  his  place  amongst  the  most respected  comedians in  Australia. He  presently resides in Sydney where he has established himself as an accomplished actor, writer, musician, and stand-up comedian. His work has taken him to perform at venues throughout Australia and internationally in England, America, New Zealand, and Singapore. Dave’s love of music rivals his passion for comedy, but he is equally skillful at both. His comedy-hard-rock band, “Boner Contention”, will pump up the show and leave you with high levels of adrenaline.
