David Tulk has been performing stand-up comedy for the past 15 years, and today he's a regular feature at comedy rooms around Australia. A straight talker, Tulk's rough edges are emphasised by the titles of his productions, namely his upcoming stand-up show 'David Tulk has No Filter' and his YouTube video series, 'Some People Are Just Arseholes.'

In this interview you'll hear how David Tulk got started, how being lumpy has helped his comedy career, both on stage and screen, how he weaved 'zen' into a joke, as well as his own 'Pay It Forward Joke' word - fountain pen.

One quick warning, there's a load of satire in this interview! So have your pinch of salt ready.

And if this interview has wetted your comedic appetite, and you're thinking about trying your hand at stand-up, then be quick to join our May 27 - 31 stand-up comedy course in Melbourne, with guest comedian Richard Stubbs, or our June 4 - 8 course in Adelaide with Glynn Nicholas. Both courses are almost sold out, so go to www.schoolofhardknockknocks.com now, and secure your spot.
