Dave La Fame

Genuine replication of Tom Jones voice, appearance, performance & stage characteristics in his mid 1970's heyday in tight high trousers & open shirt, to the 1990's toned down with suit but open shirt (this is the recommended look for a general audience) & 2000's with shorter hair & goatee.

Performances feature lots of audience interaction & engagement.

Dave possesses a very entertaining personality, larger-than-life stage presence & creates lots of fun, memorable times & comedic moments.

He is available for audience meet, greet & photographs at every performance.

Dave performs at international top venues including Stage West, Casino Niagara & Station Casino Resorts in Las Vegas. As well as private & public events in Abu Dhabi, Grand Cayman, Puerto Vallarta, Bermuda & many more.

Dave’s entertainment career began in London, England many (!) years ago as a teenager, playing bass guitar and singing with various bands.

In 1981, looking for a way to "keep himself out of trouble", a friend persuaded him to audition for a London stage production of the musical Grease. Considering it bit of a joke & expecting to be thrown out, to keep the friend happy he auditioned anyway. He didn't get thrown out! In fact he landed the 2nd leading male role in show: “Kenicke”!

Almost immediately, Dave realized he had found his vocation in life. Lead and supporting roles quickly followed in theatre productions of “Alfie”, “Entertaining Mr. Sloane”, “Straight-Up” and more.

In 1984 armed with $500, a suitcase, ambition & street smarts; Dave moved to Canada. Full time work in the entertainment industry was not forthcoming. So for the next few years Dave worked in direct & retail sales. Selling everything from door to door vacuums & soda machines to new & used cars. Achieving success in several of these fields lead to promotion & management.

But the call of entertaining was too much. By 1990, Dave turned professional. Working mainly in live theatre as an actor/singer. The addition of television & film roles, playing bass & singing with bands live & in studio. Singing “Oh Canada” at gala events, all meant that entertainment was now his full time profession.

The rest is history!
