The Social Contract is Dave's new stand-up show for the 2009 comedy festival circuit. You can see it at the Adelaide Fringe in February and March, the Melbourne International Comedy Festival in April and the Sydney Comedy Festival in May.
There are no plans just yet for a UK season, unless you're a sugar mama theatre producer with a lust for smart comedy.
Call me.
It's the true story of when Dave went to court to prove he was funny.
Made possible by the Moosehead Award, the Comedy Channel's director's grant and the direction of Alan Brough.
May contain verdict jokes.
Submissible evidence
"[Left] the audience laughing all the way to the jury room.
The verdict? Not guilty on the grounds that it's absolute comedy gold."
dB Magazine (new window).
"A prolific gagster, using jokes where others would use a full stop ... let it be said in print: Dave Bloustien is funny"
The Age
"endlessly hilarious ... side-splitting ... an absolute must see for all those looking for something a little bit different"
Arts Hub
"It was non stop laughs as the very likeable Bloustien smoothly fired his cheeky gags at his captivated audience ... Bloustien was laid back, engaging and intelligently perceptive, peppering his routine with a genuine charm that made the hour fly"
The Advertiser (new window).
"Years of experience in writing comedy combined with the direction of Alan Brough resulted in a tight show that was all killer and no filler ... a brilliant show. Dave's wonderful ability to tell a story had the punters constantly laughing".
The Groggy Squirrel (new window).
