He stars at two festivals this summer – Bollington Festival on May 22 and Bognor Comedy Festival on June 7.

He then hits the road with his Punchlines show.

It is derived from “Punch indicating that the Line should come as a surprise or shock”, suggesting that few Punchlines are inherently funny out of context.

There is another school of thought that Dave ascribes to is that the opposite can be true.

In this new show he will present evidence to support this. He quotes “It’s not my dog” and “That’s my Thermos flask”.

“Then of course there’s Nuns. Nuns in baths, Nuns on bikes & Prince Charles wearing a fox hat”.

Dave will argue that you don’t always need a Punchline for a joke to be hilarious and suggests that if you doubt him, you should ask the bloke with the big orange head.
