David M. Green - Bio December 2018

Hi, I’m David M. Green. Comedian, writer, etc. originally from , now based in , .

I’m a writer for the awesome ABC TV comedy series Shaun Micallef’s Mad As Hell, as well as a couple of Australian game shows (can’t say which ones). Some of my own TV creations include the quiz show 31 Questions, which aired on community stations around Australia & New Zealand, and more recently the comedy series Good Afternoon Adelaide.

You may have seen me playing a nerd in the webseries Too Easy with Alex Williamson. Or possibly me being an actual nerd in my other webseries VHS Revue, where I trawl through old video tapes. My work has also appeared in/on numerous publications, including , ABC Online, Herald Sun, mX and Popular Science. – Congratulations on reading this far. Continue only if you are a die hard fan and/or nut. – I began creating radio comedy in 2006 with The Green Room on Student Radio, which had a slot on Radio Adelaide 101.5FM. Other shows include Brain Damage (autumn 2007), Pow-Wow (summer 2007/08) and my favourite: On The Yacht (summer 2008/09). I’ve interviewed some interesting people and made regular guest appearances on 891 ABC Adelaide, Adelaide’s Fresh 92.7FM and Melbourne’s SYN 90.7FM. In 2009, I was writer/co-host for THE Big Show on the Triple M Network. As a professional voice-actor, my voice and I have appeared in video games and radio commercials all over Australia. – After moving to Melbourne in 2010, I completed a Graduate Diploma in Journalism at RMIT University and worked on many shows with RMITV Student Television, culminating in three seasons of 31 Questions.

In 2011/12, I was the panel operator for “The Show” on (the ill-fated) Melbourne MTR1377 and since April 2012, I’ve panelled syndicated radio for Crocmedia, including their flagship program “AFL Nation” (formerly “AFL Live“) and many others. Additionally, I’ve written and produced content for “The Science Show” on ABC , panelled for 1116AM SEN and done a little producing for “Mornings with Jon Faine” on 774 ABC Melbourne. Since 2017, I’ve worked for Tennis Australia during Open as an audio operator at Rod Laver Arena.

As an emcee, I’ve worked for Quiz Meisters Trivia and DJ Masters. If you were married in Victoria in 2012, there’s a slight chance I was the emcee at your wedding (maybe go back and double check the video?). I’ve dabbled in stand-up comedy on and off since 2008 and in 2016, I performed my first solo show “Fan Club” at the Melbourne International Comedy Festival.

A keen-ish environmentalist and connoisseur of tea and fine soft drinks, I also enjoy golf, badminton, motion pictures, the cranberry, light-rail, booth seating, Scrabble, collecting obscure ’80s New Wave records, loitering with friends, and generally having a laugh.
