Matt O'Neill just supported the legendary Steve Hughes. How'd it happen? Like all things great in comedy, luck, a friend of a friend, and humility.

In this School of Hard Knock Knocks interview with our new host, Steve Davis, we learn how Matt O'Neill's bad experience with a comedian delayed his comedy career, how he has a 'nice' persona, and the origin of his sick jokes. And of course, we learn how he warmed up the audience at The Atheneum Theatre in Melbourne for Steve Hughes.

As a side note, Steve and Matt are both alumni of the School of Hard Knock Knocks. And if you're interested in kick starting your stand-up comedy career, then check out www.schoolofhardknockknocks.com for our upcoming courses in Adelaide, Sydney, and Melbourne

And now here's the delightfully dark, Matt O'Neill.
