Dave was a great hit as the guest speaker at our conference dinner. He took the time to interact with delegates prior to presenting, which the audience loved and which made the night.

In terms of Dave and his performance. He surpassed our expectations. He was so generous with his time and sharing with the audience. He was the perfect start to our Summit. He set the scene for what was a very special event. And most importantly, he was bloody funny and generally a wonderful human being. From our initial meet and greet with Dave, we knew he was the perfect opening act.

OMG he was amazing, he got in the photo booth with about 30 people. He was funny, and the BEST.
