ABOUT THE INSTRUCTOR

David doesn't really know what he's doing, but it's worked pretty well so far. Once described as "the greatest living comedic mind" by himself and "not the Wendy's guy" by Dan Mintz, David broke into the Boston standup scene by hosting a weekly show, Stand Up Break In, at The Riot Theater for 4 years. Honing his act of dry witticisms, self-musings and mostly stuff that's weird and stupid, David has opened for Tim Heidecker, Doug Lussenhop and Brent Weinbach of "Tim and Eric" from Adult Swim, hosted for Rory Scovel, performed in the Women In Comedy Festival, and produced The People's Show, ImprovBoston's longest-running weekly standup showcase. David has performed at theaters and colleges in New England, New York, Chicago, Los Angeles and Washington D.C. Taking inspiration from comedians such as Eugene Mirman, Tig Notaro and Demetri Martin, David approaches standup comedy the same way he thinks you oughta approach everything else: by being yourself.
