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. 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. Dave is also a bestselling author whose work has been featured on NPR, Inc, TV3, The Huffington Post, The Irish Times and Forbes. Always a witty storyteller, he now calls California home when immigration officials permit. http://irishdave.co/
