David has appeared on The Tonight Show, was a semi-finalist on ABC’s The Next Best Thing and was prominently featured on the recent Showtime special, Rita Rudner and 3 Potential Ex-Husbands.

He spends PLUS ENTERTAINMENT BY a considerable part of every year on the road, plying his trade at comedy clubs, conventions THE BLUES BROTHERS (IN THE EVENT CENTER) and casino’s - as well as at celebrity golf tourna- ments and charity events across the country. Despite a career that has brought him much joy and satisfaction, David has often stated that his only real regret in life is that he’s not a better pool player.
