We were so grateful for your flexibility to help make our friends birthday unforgettable and unique. We all were thrilled. Highly recommended!
Wow - Dave is amazing, just amazing. His personality and kindness goes beyond a professional entertainer and he's talented. He had my party of 90 on their feet with ladies swooning at his side. My "gang" is a lively bunch and panties were thrown! It was a great time. Here I am dancing with Tom. You are really terrific and a great entertainer - thank you. Marietta and Larry.
Photos from this event
Do I need to say anymore? Okay - I do, just because he is so frickin' awesome. Saw him for the first time at The Old Mill as Elton John and Tom Jones - also had Rod Stewart and disappointed that Joe Cocker did not make his promised appearance. That being said, Dave is amazing - if you close your eyes and listened - you won't think he's an impersonator - hit every note of every song perfectly. Can't wait to see him perform again. Where do I find a list of your appearances??
We had Dave at our Family 80th Birthday party for our Mom. He did a Fantastic job. Dave was everything you site says and more. Thanks!
I can't say enough about Dave and his surprise performance at my brother's wedding. He stole the show! His vocals were terrific, his stage presence masterful, and he worked very hard to accommodate me for this date. Couldn't say enough good things about him!
One of the bridesmaid's mothers wanted to throw her panties at him!
HAHAHAHA!
Thanks so much!

Genuine replication of Tom Jones voice, appearance, performance & stage characteristics in his mid 1970's heyday in tight high trousers & open shirt, to the 1990's toned down with suit but open shirt (this is the recommended look for a general audience) & 2000's with shorter hair & goatee.
Performances feature lots of audience interaction & engagement.
Dave possesses a very entertaining personality, larger-than-life stage presence & creates lots of fun, memorable times & comedic moments.
He is available for audience meet, greet & photographs at every performance.
Dave performs at international top venues including Stage West, Casino Niagara & Station Casino Resorts in Las Vegas. As well as private & public events in Abu Dhabi, Grand Cayman, Puerto Vallarta, Bermuda & many more.
Dave’s entertainment career began in London, England many (!) years ago as a teenager, playing bass guitar and singing with various bands.
In 1981, looking for a way to "keep himself out of trouble", a friend persuaded him to audition for a London stage production of the musical Grease. Considering it bit of a joke & expecting to be thrown out, to keep the friend happy he auditioned anyway. He didn't get thrown out! In fact he landed the 2nd leading male role in show: “Kenicke”!
Almost immediately, Dave realized he had found his vocation in life. Lead and supporting roles quickly followed in theatre productions of “Alfie”, “Entertaining Mr. Sloane”, “Straight-Up” and more.
In 1984 armed with $500, a suitcase, ambition & street smarts; Dave moved to Canada. Full time work in the entertainment industry was not forthcoming. So for the next few years Dave worked in direct & retail sales. Selling everything from door to door vacuums & soda machines to new & used cars. Achieving success in several of these fields lead to promotion & management.
But the call of entertaining was too much. By 1990, Dave turned professional. Working mainly in live theatre as an actor/singer. The addition of television & film roles, playing bass & singing with bands live & in studio. Singing “Oh Canada” at gala events, all meant that entertainment was now his full time profession.
The rest is history!
Recipient of 2012 Las Vegas Celebrity Impersonators Convention award: 1st place male entertainer. 3rd place overall.
Dave impersonates Elton John & Tom Jones. And has additional look/sound-a-like tributes to Roy Orbison & Bobby Darin.
He is an accomplished bass player and works with Message In A Bottle - A tribute to the music of Sting & The Police. As well as alternative 80s music band The Strangest Things.
The popularity of both these shows, takes Dave to theatres, casinos, cruise lines & corporate events throughout Canada, the United States & around the globe.
