According to police, comedian Daniel Connell is everything BUT a 'Little Aussie Battler’.
Daniel has enjoyed sold-out festival seasons and an Australian tour of the regions, including playing his hit new show 'Little Aussie Battler' to comedy festival audiences at Melbourne International Comedy Festival and Brisbane Comedy Festival.
Read our review of his 2024 Melbourne International Comedy Festival show.
He's taking 'Little Aussie Battler' to places it's not yet been. . . As well as bringing it back to a few for some encore performances too!
The new material chronicles the last 12 months – run-ins with a drug kingpin, a meeting with a very kinky character, organising a kid's party, having his house broken into. There's plenty to talk about and audiences will get to hear it all through Daniel's dry, often anticipated observations.
Fresh from his 'Have You Been Paying Attention?' debut (which you can watch now on 10 Play), we find Daniel reflecting on his history of one of the cooler human-to-human interactions – the high five.
Here, he lists the five best ones he's ever done.
Five
9 July, 2001. At high school, I'd just made my way to the King square in a game of handball, high fived my mate Brian walking from Queen to King. Great day.Four
2 April, 2014. My friend Kurt had just divorced his first wife, it was the best decision for both of them. We high fived after he told me. A fond memory.Three
18 December, 2004. An acquaintance had acquired a new rottweiler puppy and was teaching it tricks. I put my hand out and you wouldn't believe it, it high fived me. A good laugh.Two
14 January, 1998. I was in the crowd for 'The Price Is Right', Larry said 'come on down' to this old bloke. The old bloke high fived me on the way to the stage. Still talk about it at parties now.One
22 November, 2003. A mate took a hat trick in loc cricket, I ran to celebrate with him, we both jumped and went for the high five, our hands connected perfectly at the palm, fingers in line. We couldn't do it again if we tried.Daniel Connell 2024 Australia Tour Dates
