STILL HERE by Dave & the Dave's

Page under construction
 The show is a depression comedy. A music theatre production that displays the versatile acting skills of Dave Houston as he weaves multiple characters, elements of clown and stand-up comedy, live songs and honest vulnerable storytelling that covers depression, suicide and recovery. 

It has many theatrical and theatre references including Uncle David, the professional actor and show biz master who tours Seagulls and other Gold Coast clubs, Rave Dave King of Hip Hop, work for the dole stage manager Davo, and storyteller Dave who shares stories of acting, drama school,  love, loss and life.

Hooks to sell the show

A comedy about mental health. Honest, raw and funny. 

A show that explores the world of the theatre

A show that will attract its own audience. People interested in mental health and people who may have been or are depressed or have a family member or friend that has depression and mental health challenges. 

A show that can be marketed through non traditional theatre avenues. Community centres, holistic health centres, schools (15+), mental health partners. Headspace, The Black Dog Institute, etc. 

A show that's easy to promote through social media and will have lots of funny and different 20-30 second adverts to share.
