Dave began his cruising career as a show singer for Rex Greys 'Talk of the Town Show' on board the MV Amerikanis. However his own short cabaret within the shows proved so successful that the natural progression was to develop his own headline act.

Dave is now a firm favourite appearing as guest cabaret artist for most major cruise lines including Cunard, P&O, Chrystal and Fred Olson lines. Indeed he was one of only a handful of cabaret acts exclusively selected to perform on the 5 star luxury yacht Sea Goddess, sailing the French and Italian Riviera.

The summer of 2004 saw him performing on the world's newest and most prestigious cruise liner Queen Mary 2 when he was chosen as the headline act during the ship's stay in Athens for the Olympic Games.

Dave's unique, confessional style of comedy is still in much demand throughout the cruise industry and, as in the summer of 2006, he will be performing once again on Fred Olsen's Braemar, sailing out of the Tyne to the Baltic.
