Doug Chappel

[1][2][3] In 2016 it was announced that Chappel would be the new Ambassador for the Salvation Army's Westcare lead tenant program as a result of his continued support of the Western Suburbs, and his dedication and commitment to helping disadvantaged youth.

Chappel's brand of comedy has been described as "uniquely hilarious" and "charismatic", with appearance on NBC in Los Angeles, the London Comedy Store and he has entertained the troops for the Australian Defence Force in countries such as Afghanistan, Dubai, Solomon Islands and East Timor.

[5][6][7] Chappel has not been without his controversy and has been criticised in the past for his close association with many notorious underworld figures such as Mark "Chopper" Read and his comedy show tours with disgraced "AFL agent to the stars" Ricky Nixon which also included colourful 1980s AFL star Warwick Capper.

In 2016 Chappel was the official comedian at the "Sons of the West" Grand Final Dinner with Western Bulldog premiership stars and captain Robert Murphy, Jake Stringer, Marcus Bontempelli and club legends Doug Hawkins and Tony Liberatore to name a few.

[10] Chappel released 2 CDs in 2004 titled The funniest man on the planet and The Footscray Rap in which he talks about his troubled past, the area in which he grew up and relationships.
