Word's Don't Come Easy - T468721507

Inspired by the fantastic audience response to his deconstruction of song lyrics in his "Best Medicine Tour" combined with his fascination with the vagaries of the English Language, this hilarious new show examines many more situations in life where words don't come easy. These include tongue-tied parents explaining the facts of life, ridiculous newspaper stories, magazine poems, pathetic adolescent chat-up lines, weird hospital speak, learning a foreign language and an extended selection of song lyrics that range from the lazy through to the surreal to the ridiculous.

The Best Medicine - Repeat Prescription - T884286398

In this new show, Dave tackles the old adage 'Laughter is the Best Medicine'. It was his Dad's favourite saying; which is why when Dave was six, he nearly died of diphtheria. In later years, working in the NHS as a Biomedical Scientist, Dave discovered for himself that scientific evidence endorsed his Dad's wise words; it has proven that when we laugh our bodies release a cocktail of chemicals and hormones which reduce stress and blood pressure, lift depression, boost the immune system and here's the clincher... burn calories!
