A funny thing on the way to Pakenham

COMEDIAN Dave Hughes (pictured) will strut through Pakenham next week at the start of a regional tour.
The bornandbred country boy from Warrnambool entered the world of comedy after dropping out of an accounting course in 1993 to become a standup comedian when he was 22.
“I didn’t want to be an accountant. I only did it because my friends were doing it.”
Dave Hughes is now a celebrity and has appeared on numerous comedy shows, notably ABC’s The Glass House, as well as Holden commercials, on radio with Triple M and Nova 100 and still takes time out for standup.
Hughes’s commitments now keep him very busy.
“There’s a lot of time in a day. As long as I get enough sleep.”
His latest standup show takes him regional with the first stop on the tour the Cardinia Cultural Centre in Pakenham on Friday, 10 February.
He will then play at Warragul, Albury, South Morang and Warrnambool.
Hughes said he was looking forward to coming back to Pakenham after performing at the Cardinia Cultural Centre a couple of years ago.
“I’m coming back by popular demand,” he said. “Hopefully it goes well.”
The show starts at 7.30pm and tickets cost $34. For bookings phone 1300 887 624.
