David Kaye

Biography

Audiences laugh out loud, as David Kaye shares side-splitting tales of his dysfunctional family affairs, blue-collar upbringing and his twenty year “beer bottle battle and cocaine crack attack”.  The third child of an alcoholic father and co-dependent mother, his candid recollections of life as “baby brother” are outrageously funny and brutally honest.
“I grew up believing that my parents were not prejudice people.  However judging from all the beatings I took as a child, I now realize my paarents hated white children.”

David’s tongue-in-cheek observations have continued to set off boisterous laughter and applause in corporate boardrooms, college rathskellers, and smoky nightclubs throughout the country for over two decades.  A former mechanical engineer and more recently, trained thespian, Kaye smartly lampoons life with countless comical vignettes.  Acting as narrator and cast, he morphs into a one man comedy troupe using manic mannerisms, outlandish dialects, and contorted facial expressions to convey vividly funny living snapshots of his many off-the-wall characters.

David Kaye’s many credits include performances with Weird Al Yankovic, Richard Lewis, David Brenner, and Drew Carey. Along with numerous television appearances on ABC, Comedy Central, dozens of commercials and industrial films, and a starring role in the independent films, ”Creep” and “Saffronia”.

The perfect headline performer for any occasion, David Kaye always delivers huge laughs with his original wit, rock solid act, and genuine comedic talent.
