Dave Thornton has been described as one of the hottest rising stars of Australian comedy, hence his inclusion in the Warehouse series, showcasing the best and brightest of the Melbourne International Comedy event. His engaging set, A Different Type of Normal is full of hilarious anecdotes of family life, mostly his own. He thought his family was normal, he says, until he turned 19. A hit at the world's biggest comedy festivals, including Edinburgh, Melbourne and the invitation-only Montreal Just for Laughs festival, Dave has also been on Talkin 'bout Your Generation, Rove and The 7pm Project. He recently played a straight acting role in ABC's Bed of Roses.
