Coming to Marine Hall March 25 ...
This show is all about Dave’s life in ….. well…. a northern town, so no surprise there.
From his working-class childhood in the small, terraced houses round the mills in Bolton through passing his 11 plus and going to grammar school with an ambition to be a doctor which was thwarted just after his “O” levels.
He will tell how he turned his microscope off for the last time on October 13th, 2000, and two weeks later found himself on a car park only half a mile down the road singing “Walking on Sunshine” in the pouring rain on a makeshift stage dressed as a giant berry ; while a ten foot c*ck and balls slowly but surely inflated behind him.
He wondered at that moment if he’d made the right decision. As it turns out, he had.
