Damian Callinan
Damian Callinan may be one of Australia's most versatile, prolific and popular comedians,
but he is terrible at writing career biographies. Damian is a well known face on Australian television
from his roles on TV comedy programs Skithouse, Before The Game, and The Wedge.
You may also have heard
his voice on 774ABC Melbourne; JJJ; MIX FM and MMM. What else hasn't he told you? He is a much sought
after comedy director directing 2 shows in the Melbourne International Comedy Festival 2007 as well as
performing himself; he recently wrote and performed Babysitting, his first show specifically for kids;
he's working on Borrydale, his first novel for Text Publishing/Cannongate and prefers to write his
biographies in the 3rd person but isn't very good at it am I?
Stand-up and character comedian Damian Callinan takes you inside his head to meet the range
of personalities that
fight for airspace. You'll learn how to conceive, give birth to and rear a comic character for TV,
radio and live performance. You'll also learn what's needed to build a stand-up comedy persona that
can withstand the heat of the spotlight. If all of that doesn't work he'll just do jokes.
