Australian stand-up comedian, actor, bass guitarist, writer and radio personality based in Melbourne.
In 2001 he joined then-new radio station Nova 100 in Melbourne, on the top-rating Hughesy, Kate & Dave breakfast show. He later left in July 2006 for Nova's sister station, Vega 91.5 to co-host the breakfast show Dave and Denise with Shaun Micallef. In 2007, Ian "Dicko" Dickson and Chrissie Swan joined the show with Denise Scott with Shaun Micallef leaving the station. In 2010, once Vega 91.5 became Classic Rock 91.5, Chrissie Swan departed the breakfast team. However, on 15 July 2010 Ian "Dicko" Dickson and O'Neil were axed from Classic Rock 91.5.
He was Team Captain in the 2013 ABC TV comedy quiz show Tractor Monkeys.
His books include Unfit for Life: A Handbook (2000), Lies Your Parents Tell You (2002), Everything Tastes Better Crumbed and other Big Statements (2007) and The Summer of ’82 (2016).
In 2017 O'Neil began a new podcast The Debrief with Dave O'Neil. Each episode he drives a comedian home from a gig and discusses comedy and their career. It's available through iTunes and other podcast apps.
