This hot young newcomer
first hit the comedy stage in 2003 and despite the pain (and mockery)
has continued performing. Building a loyal following while raising
many an eyebrow, Dave has honed his funnycraft in various clubs in
and around Ontario and Western New York. This Peterborough-raised
comic has a personable, intelligent, sometimes subtle, but always
likable stage persona.
Dave takes his
audiences to the edge, but not quite over it, making them laugh at
things they know they probably shouldn't. Whether ranting about
family, relationships, or his continuing quest to try to get his life
in order, Dave consistently gets audiences roaring and always leaves
them entertained.
Dave has performed at
the Laugh Resort, Absolute Comedy, Club 54, Corktown Comedy, and many
other fine comedy venues. He can be heard on XM Satellite Radio and
in 2007 was named Q107’s Second Funniest Person with a Day Job.
