Karl Chandler (born 30 March 1976) is an Australian writer and light entertainer.[1] He used to co-host the popular comedy podcast The Little Dum Dum Club with Tommy Dassalo.[2][3][4][5] Chandler grew up in the small rural Victorian town of Maryborough. He has written for many TV shows, like Hard Quiz, Spicks and Specks, and The Project, and written and been part of the cast for shows like Studio A.
In 2011, Chandler collated and published a book called Funny Buggers: The Best Lines from Australian Stand-up Comedy, a collection of jokes from iconic Australian comedians like as Greg Fleet, Tom Gleeson and Dave O'Neil.[6]
In 2014, Chandler auditioned for Australia's Got Talent, but did not make it past the audition stage.[7] This experience served as the basis of the material for his 2014 comedy hour, Karl Chandler's Got Talent.[8]
Chandler has run many comedy rooms in Melbourne, such as Comedy at Spleen on Monday nights (previously co-run with Steele Saunders), Thursday Comedy Club on Thursday nights, and Basement Comedy Club on Saturday nights.[citation needed]
On 2 September 2017, Chandler married his then fiancée Diane, with whom he had been in a relationship for 10 years.[9]
He is currently working on pre-production for Phunny Phellas, a comedy program for commercial television audiences.[citation needed]
