Presented by Newcastle Comedy Festival

A seasoned performer whose shows have been described as ‘devastatingly effective’ (Chortle), Dave is back with a brand-new hour of stand-up, focusing on the small things that frustrate him and the large things that get on top of him…. more or less.

Dave played to audiences all over the country last year and continues to garner fans with his accessible, grounded comedy.

Maybe you’ve seen him on Sam Pang Tonight, The Cheap Seats, hosting The Big Trip or really stretching his acting chops as Troy in Upper Middle Bogan on Netflix.

Come and check out a performer who’s spent almost half of his life doing what he loves. With his stand-up clips routinely getting millions of views online, you’re gonna love ‘More or Less’.
