Dear Internet,
Dave Warneke is a 27 year old award nominated (losing) comedian, podcaster and producer from Melbourne. Over the last seven years he has toured his comedy shows to dozens of comedy, fringe, music, film, arts and writer’s festivals across Australia. He has appeared in guest roles on the ABC shows The Librarians and Upper Middle Bogan and on Channel Nine's True Story with Hamish & Andy.
Dave currently works full time as the producer and editor of the daily "funnies" segment on Network Ten's comedy/news program The Project, working with comedians Peter Helliar, Tommy Little and Lehmo.
Warneke or 'Warndog', as literally no one has ever called him, has a fact based podcast called 'Do Go On' that he hosts with Jess Perkins and Matt Stewart. Each week they take it in turns to research a topic and report back to the class. Regularly touring the country as a live show, the podcast has had millions of downloads around the world and has become one of the most popular comedy podcasts in Australia. In 2017 it was chosen by iTunes Australia to be listed on the home page as a 'Comedy Favourite' alongside podcasts The Bugle, WTF With Marc Maron and Hamish and Andy.
Dave is the host and creator of Facty Fact, a comedy quiz show that has toured Australia and then transferred to a web/tv series produced by Stupid Old Channel. In May 2015 Facty Fact became the highest rating show on Channel 31 in Melbourne.
He is also the former head of content for Australia’s largest pub trivia company, Quiz Meisters and learnt a lot of useless knowledge writing questions for two seasons of the game show, The Chase Australia.
Just in case you thought Dave was wasting his life he wanted me to tell you that he has an Arts degree in Media and Drama, and has a Masters in Global Communication. Dave hopes to one day get his PhD and fulfil his goal of becoming a fake doctor.
And there you have it… That’s me. I mean Dave. Oh ok, you caught me... I admit I wrote this myself. How arrogant am I?
