| Who
is David Cummings?
Who
indeed? A man who has been paid money all his life for talking to
people, writing and performing.
Born in London, he left school to become a salesman by day and a
club comedian by night.
He has run his own companies producing movies and records, working
with the BBC, Decca Records, EMI.
He was the managing director of The Newsletter People.
So he understands the business world.
What
then? 20 years as a comedy writer (or 'comedian's labourer')
creating TV shows for everyone from Dave Allen to Dick Emery - Tom
Jones to Rolf Harris.
Why
Oz? Cut to 1983. David was brought to Sydney by Reg Grundy to
work for Grundy TV. Then he moved on to corporate videos and company
presentations and producing newsletters for companies like Pitney
Bowes, Contiki, Legal & General, UBD and Wyeth.
Now
he's back to his first love - speaking behind the lectern, sending
up corporate clichés and making the people laugh. How? Presenting
a hoax, folks.
