Dan Ilic, an Australian comedian, writer, and producer, is known for his work in television satire and digital media, including roles on “Hungry Beast” and as Senior Satire Producer for AJ+ English. After touring ‘The Great Viagra Robbery’ to the Melbourne International Comedy Festival in 2003, Dan Ilic went on to become a key creative force behind Network Ten’s ‘The Ronnie Johns Half Hour’ from 2005 to 2006, where he served as a cast member, writer, animator, and producer. Building on this momentum, Ilic founded the Sydney sketch comedy club night Comicide in 2007, subsequently touring ‘Comicide: Death by Funny’ to the Melbourne International Comedy Festival in 2008. The same year, he directed The Comedy Channel’s satirical news program, ‘The Mansion,’ further establishing his multifaceted talent in satire and production.

In 2014, he successfully crowdfunded over $50,000 to transform ‘A Rational Fear’ into a successful web series, which subsequently forged a partnership with The Guardian Australia, sold out two shows at the prestigious Sydney Opera House, and garnered a Walkley Award nomination for journalism. This project continues to expand his reach and influence, maintaining his position at the forefront of comedic and journalistic satire.
