Dave Hughes: Sweet

StarStarStarStar

"An easygoing joy to listen to."

It was difficult to know when Dave Hughes had actually started his stand-up show.

Such was his relaxed delivery it was as if he were chatting with mates at the pub. While there was a lot of initial banter with audience latecomers he wandered with ease into topics as if at random. Thoughts and yarns about hipsters, surfers and celebrity chefs all got a mention but the theme he kept coming back to was his family, whether his young kids’ attitudes or the nitty gritty with his wife. An easygoing joy to listen to. On ya, Hughesy!
