Thank you Cindy. It was a pleasure performing for your son’s party. And I must say, you guys certainly know how to throw a party. The pizza oven was a great idea. Incredible food and what a pleasure to talk with you and your friends afterwards.

Highly Recommend

Dave performed at our annual company Christmas party. He did an excellent job getting a roomful of accountants to laugh! We loved how he interacted with the crowd and incorporated our ugly Christmas sweaters into his material. His material was appealing to various ages of adults within our firm. We would definitely recommend Dave to others.

A Crowd Favorite

Dave is a crowd favorite, no doubt. I've worked with Dave numerous times, and have had him host, and headline, and he kills it every time. Professional and shares his enthusiasm for comedy with the crowd, no holds bar.

Had a great time!

We hosted an AllStar Cheer fundraiser. All of our guests had a blast and really enjoyed Dave. They had such a great time and cannot wait for next year. Dave gave awesome entertainment to our event.

Kristina,
Thank you for the stellar review. Like I said the night of the event, you guys are the most organized fundraising group that I’ve ever had the pleasure to work with. You had all the bases covered; silent audition, raffle, dessert auction, games, prizes, huge community turnout and great food served on time. That’s the smoothest I’ve ever seen an event run.
Thanks again,
Dave
