Dave Houston did the impossible – he made a feel-good show about depression. Part funny and sad, serious and silly, the performance is based on Dave’s own experiences but through his vivid imagination, strong performance and great music, he’s turned it into theatre we can all relate to.

Oh my god. You got me, you bugger. I’ve been on Sertraline (an antidepressant) for 6 years. I haven’t cried in that time, but you got me tonight. What you did up on that stage was amazing!

This amazing show will take you on a roller coaster of emotions!
At one point I was laughing so hard I thought I might snort! At another point my heart ached as I wept for a dear friend who suffered from mental health trauma and took her own life. This performance is a must see!

STILL HERE is an awesome show. Dave manages to make us laugh with glorious idiocy and play and then bam hit us deep in the heart and soul. It's an incredibly moving, powerful show that boldly unpacks mental illness. It is funny and hopeful and inspiring storytelling at its finest.

A very personal and heart filled journey that had me laughing, singing, feeling and even shedding a tear. Dave is a captivating story teller and I appreciated his willingness to be vulnerable and raw. His story is an important one that needs to be told, if only to make just one person feel less alone on their own mental health journey....but I am sure there will be many who will benefit from this show.

The production Still Here by Dave & the Daves is a very clever, funny journey that explores mental health. It's messages of connection and communication, especially for boys, is clearly delivered through all the characters and songs. I highly recommend this engaging piece of theatre.

STILL HERE by Dave & the Daves - Testimonials from audience members
'Still Here by Dave and the Daves' is a tender and generous show about mental health that surprisingly made me laugh, cry and reflect. The show was personal, without being uncomfortable and important, without being preachy. Next time I'll bring my teenage kids.' KL Kundalini Yoga House 9/9/22
'Dave Houston did the impossible – he made a feel good show about depression.

'Absolutely brilliant show, loved, laughed, cried and laughed some more and dived deep'. KB 303 Venue, 5/5/23
'I wouldn't have thought a comedy about depression could be so uplifting. I laughed and I cried. Me and my family are unfortunately familiar with the shame, isolation and helplessness struggling with mental health can bring. Talking about it - even laughing about it - is absolutely a great way to help support those suffering, offering strategies, antidotes and an overarching message of 'you are not alone' seems vital. I've taught tertiary level students for 20 years and am absolutely certain each and every school should offer students of all ages a dose of Dave & the Daves.
