DES DOWLING

Des Dowling is one of Melbourne's most sought after stand-up comedians, just ask him. He started his professional life as a journalist in the print media.
From there he worked for more than a decade as a TV News reporter for the ABC, Channel 9 and Channel 7.
After working as a current affairs reporter on "A Current Affair" (Ch 9) and "Real Life" (Channel 7) he decided being regarded with the same disdain as used car salesmen and corrupt politicians wasn't any way to go through life.
He opted out of the harsh glare of commercial television and entered the seedy world of stand up comedy only to end up back in the harsh glare of commercial television working as Sam Newman's writer and segment producer on "The Footy Show".
Des' comedy schtick is the sum of his experiences, from wide eyed farm boy to jaded journo with something in between for people of all ages and backgrounds, except perhaps used car salesmen and corrupt politicians.
He marked his arrival on the national stage with a place in the Australian final of the Triple J Raw Comedy competition in 1998 and has appeared regularly on television (Channel 9, Channel 7, the ABC and the Comedy Channel) and radio (MMM, Fox FM and 3AW).
