About
Leaving Dublin, Ireland where he was born and raised until the age of 22, Dave got drunk on travel and never quite hit sobriety of it. He has lived and worked in twelve countries and visited over seventy. His shows draw on his wide travels, cultural observations, attempts at language study, (occasional) international drinking session(s) and being a mildly confused immigrant in the US.
Dave is the winner of the prestigious 43rd annual San Francisco Comedy Competition, and runner up in the Moth’s largest US Grandslam storytelling competition. Also a bestselling author and TED speaker Dave has been featured on NPR, DRY BAR, The Huffington Post, Forbes, Inc., TV3 and the Irish Times. Always a witty storyteller, he now calls California home when immigration officials permit.
