We also chat about the teething pains of trying to make your own work as a performer, and how to keep going when you're thinking about quitting performing. We also discuss Dave's journey with Mischief Theatre, from the early days of performing in rooms above pubs, right through to the West End transfers and TV commissions that followed.
Dave is an actor and co-founder of Olivier Award-winning theatre company, Mischief Theatre, who you might know from their smash hits, The Play That Goes Wrong, The Play About a Bank Robbery and now, The Goes Wrong Show on the BBC.
