Dave has opened for headliners such as Nick Kroll, Eddie Pepitone, Judy Tenuta, Big Jay Oakerson, Allan Havey, Josh Blue, Jay Mohr, Neil Hamburger, Bret Ernst and most importantly, Barry Sobel.

Absolutely exceeded expectations

Having a stand-up comedian perform at my birthday dinner was one of the best decisions I’ve made for a party. He absolutely exceeded expectations — genuinely hilarious, engaging, and able to read the room perfectly. People were laughing nonstop the entire set, and even afterward everyone kept talking about how fun and different the night felt.

What I appreciated most was that it never felt awkward or forced; it just created this incredibly fun energy that carried through the whole evening. Guests stayed until midnight because nobody wanted the night to end. If you’re looking for a unique experience that brings people together and creates real memories, I could not recommend him more highly.

Amazing performance

Dave is hands down one of the funniest comedians I've ever met. My daughter hired him for my son's 30th birthday and he absolutely made the night. He was so funny and was able to gear his jokes to his audience perfectly. He really related with each person and we all had a blast. I worry about if a comedian is actually going to be funny, rest assured he is!
Also, he brought his own equipment which was very helpful for us who can't hear as well.

Incredible

Wow is all I can say, Dave had my entire party in tears during his whole bit. Dave was so incredibly funny, he managed to keep it light and yet roast the birthday boy perfectly. I would hire him in an instant again! Thank you so much Dave!

Mean Dave is da bomb!!

Mean Dave has made us laugh, cry, and cringe! He is honest and cynical, and is such a sweet person all wrapped up into a line of funny comparisons to other celebrities...lol! He has worked with my organization, Disability Pride PA and Angry Cat Services, as a solo comedian and as part of the great troop The Comedians with Disabilities Act.

Mean Dave and Nina G for Disability Awareness and Allyship

Mean Dave and Nina G packed our college's theater, combining standup and enlightenment about disability awareness and how to be an ally. Our students were rapt and engaged, and they had a ton of questions and comments during the Q & A. Nina's and Dave's styles complemented each other and really opened up our students. The show was overall informative, too, providing a unique perspective. I'm really glad that they came to our campus! Highly recommend.
