Other Information:
Probably the most successful comedy trio Australia has produced. Subsequent acts such as Tripod have been compared to them, often to the outrage of fans of the newer acts. Some find the outrage amusing - some of the acts that get compared to DAAS would probably be stoked with 1/10th the success.
Due to the lewd nature of some of their performances, rumours about their sexuality abounded, and persist to this day.
