Talent Biography

Dave is a stand-up comedian who has delighted audiences worldwide in top cabaret venues, theatres, and luxury cruise liners. His show is a fresh approach to the timeless subjects of marriage, children, growing old disgracefully, and the absurdity of human behaviour.

Appearing in virtually every major British theatre, including three West End seasons starring in the adult pantomime “Sinderella”, its sequel “Sinderella Comes Again”, and in the rock Christmas pantomime “Dick Whittington”, Dave also toured extensively in Britain and Ireland as “The Comedian” in the musical “Dusty”, a show on the life of the late, great Dusty Springfield.
