The one-way people recognise comedian Dave Callan is because of his beard and long hair. Many people want him to shave but it is his trademark. He thinks it will be very fashionable when the new Ice Age comes.

The segment on Rove for which he is best remembered is “Words That Sound Better When Said By Dave”. Cloaked in his thick Irish accent, Dave was able to make words such as the following extremely funny: portfolio, plectrum, haberdashery and trousers to name a few.

His other TV credits include O'Loghlin on Saturday Night, the ABC’s Standing Up and The Melbourne International Festival Comedy Galaand the SBS documentary – King of the Road. Dave has also appeared on Spicks and Specks, The Footy Show, and Hey Hey It’s Saturday.
