Dave Woodhead is an assured voice with a natural gift for storytelling.
A Torres Strait Islander man raised on Larrikiah Land (Darwin), Dave started doing comedy in 2014 at the age of 16.
He quickly became a national finalist at the Melbourne Comedy Festival’s RAW Comedy competition and was selected to perform as part of the Festival’s Comedy Zone, a lineup show of Australia’s best up-and-coming comedians.
An acclaimed and in-demand writer, actor and performer, Dave has worked on numerous TV shows including SBS’s Big Backyard Quiz (as both a Team Captain and the Series Writer), Amazon Prime’s sketch comedy series The Moth Effect, ABC TV’s Get Krackin’ and Netflix’s Big Mouth (voiceover).
A writer and cast member of the brilliant, award-winning ABC TV Indigenous sketch comedy series Black Comedy, Dave has also written for various Indigenous kids’ series including Eddies Lil’ Homies, Thalu & Barrumbi Kid.
