Dave Lawson is an Australian comedian and TV and radio personality. He is currently participating in a talk back radio segment on the Nova 100 Australian commercial radio station, and is also a regular performer on the stand up comedy circuit. He plans to quit comedy and radio in April 2011 to pursue a career as a tram driver. Lawson has since been nominated for 13 Gold Logies and has been arguably the biggest icon in Australian television history.
Born on 25 September 1978, Lawson grew up in the Bayside area of Melbourne and completed his secondary education at Haileybury College.
Lawson is also known for his long involvement in hosting the Nickelodeon Australia shows Saturday Nick Television, Sarvo, Nick Takes Over Your School and Camp Orange. He also co-hosted with fellow Sarvo host James Kerley and Sophie Monk for the 2006 Nickelodeon Australian Kids' Choice Awards. He announced his intention to leave Nickelodeon Australia on 16 February 2007, although several remarks by Kerley hinted that Lawson may return at a later stage.
