Michael Veitch (born 29 November 1962) is an Australian comedian, author and broadcaster, best known for his roles on the sketch comedy television shows The D-Generation, Fast Forward and Full Frontal, as well as for his books on Second World War aviation and the Bass Strait Islands.
Veitch emerged from the tradition of the University of Melbourne (where he completed an Arts degree) sketch comedy and revue. In 1985, the Australian Broadcasting Commission (ABC) produced three locally-produced comedy series: The Gillies Report, Australia You're Standing In It and The D-Generation, the latter absorbing the current group of talent performing in Melbourne Uni revues. Veitch performed a wide variety of characters over two seasons of The D-Generation, a programme which eventually cemented among the annals of Australian comedy. Some of his characters included Kelvin Cunnington, a puerile young man obsessed with smutty innuendo (rumoured to be based on a real-life commercial radio host); Murray Beckworth, a semi-senile veteran of the Second World War; and many roles with Magda Szubanski. The D-Generation team eventually split, with half the team going on to produce The Late Show and form Working Dog Productions; Veitch was part of the group (including Jane Turner, Marg Downey and Magda Szubanski) which joined Steve Vizard's company to produce sketch comedy shows Fast Forward and Full Frontal.
