He completed two legs of his sell-out nationwide "Overnight Success"
Tour in 2003 where he received standing ovations and rave reviews.
Demand for tickets was phenomenal and some venues added second, and in
some cases, third dates. In May of 2004, Dave performed another two sell
out shows at the prestigious Lowry theatre. Dave's profile rocketed with
the release of his first ever live stand-up video and DVD which was
released in November 2003 and quickly achieved the Gold Retail
Performance Award, selling over 75,000 copies. He scooped the prestigious "Performance of the Year" at the Manchester
Evening News Theatre Awards back in December 2003 for his "Overnight Success"
Tour show and was awarded "Best Comedy Performance" at the Leicester Mercury
Awards in January 2004. Here's a selection of press reviews on the show:
2005 has already got off to a great start, with the broadcast of "Dead Man
Weds" starring Dave alongside Johnny Vegas.
In the past year alone, Dave has performed at corporates for many corporates,
including: Asda, EMAP, Yes! Car Credit, Silentnight, Smirnoff, Coral Bookmakers,
The Guardian, Employment Lawyers Association and Leeds Rugby Limited.
"Dave Spikey is one of the most original, funniest men to have emerged in
years" The Stage
"Relaxed, visual and hilariously funny" Time Out
"Smart, unpretentious Stand-up with the co-star of Phoenix Nights" The
Guardian.
