Dave has this to say about is current show. “When I was growing up , my dad (a man of many sayings) used to say to me "Laughter is the Best Medicine" - which is why , by the way, when I was six I nearly died with diphtheria.
In later years I worked as a Biomedical Scientist and discovered that scientific evidence endorsed his wise words and it has indeed been 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!! So this is my small contribution to improving the health of the nation. Come along and laugh at tales of stunned guinea pigs, wasp allergies , my wife the nun,  dancing for dobbers, laxative chocolate, the sun going round the moon and the many ways you can “make your own fun”.  Hopefully you'll go away in much better health PLUS if you laugh for one hour you’ll burn off 200 Calories and that’s a pint of lager!"

"What I’m advising is , for maximum benefit I'd encourage you to laugh at absolutely everything and then it will do us both a world of good!"
