“I think our sense of humour is special – that ability to laugh at ourselves, to take the mickey with a smile and without real offence and most importantly, to laugh in the face of adversity.

“You know that quotation – ‘Is your glass half full or half empty?’ In the North the answer is the glass is too big. Shut up and get a smaller glass mate.”

With a career spanning more than two decades, Dave has numerous TV appearances under his belt as a stand-up comedian, game show panellist, presenter and actor – and behind the screens as an acclaimed comedy writer, including writing for the BBC’s One Show.
