Australia’s Beloved Comedy Maestro Dave ‘Hughesy’ Is Back on “The Masked Singer”

Dave Hughes, also known as Hughesy, is back on Australia’s screens for another season of “The Masked Singer” in 2023. As the show’s resident funnyman, he’s famous for his outrageously entertaining guesses about the hidden identities behind the eccentric costumes.

While Hughesy is undeniably an Aussie comedy icon, his career transcends the world of skits and bits. Here’s a glimpse into his incredible journey.

Hughey’s comedy journey has taken him from the cosy confines of comedy clubs to the grandeur of sold-out stages nationwide. With his signature lightning-quick wit and a knack for spinning everyday tales into comedic gold, he’s captured the hearts of audiences far and wide.

In 2022, Hughesy treated us to a live show called “Trending,” a comedic sensation that graced both The Melbourne International Comedy Festival and the Adelaide Fringe Festival. Dave’s unrelenting commitment to his craft means you can still catch him setting comedy club stages ablaze, any night of the week, all over the country.

His charm and humour have secured him regular spots on some of Australia’s most beloved TV shows. You might have caught a glimpse of him on “The Hundred,” shared a laugh with him on “Celebrity Gogglebox,” or joined in the fun on “Would I Lie To You? Australia”.

But beyond the glitz and glamour of live comedy and television, Hughesy continues to co-host the ever-popular radio show, “The Morning Crew.” Alongside Ed Kavalee and Erin Molan, he brings that quintessential larrikin spirit and tongue-in-cheek banter that listeners can’t get enough of.

“The Masked Singer Australia” continues Monday at 7.30pm on 10 and 10 Play.
