What Librarians, Teachers, Parents and Children are Saying about Daffy Dave

"Thank you so much for bringing your magical/comedy act to Fairfax Library. What a way to end the summer! You had the kids rolling all over the floor, laughing. The parents were cracking up, too. You were very, very funny…and then all of a sudden you'd zing us with some astonishing magic!

I loved all your underwear stuff from the extra-looooooong striped socks to the jockey briefs flambe. The dinosaur BVDs killed me.

Thanks for your end-of-the-program pitch for checking out library books. Your timing was perfect. All but two of the books I had set out on display went home with somebody! This has never happened to me before.

Thanks also for the musical encore. And to think we almost missed it! You are such a fine musician, you should play whenever you can find an excuse to do so.

We thoroughly enjoyed ourselves in your company and will invite you back again! Best wishes."

Your newest fan,
Carolyn Potter

"My friend and I recently brought our kids to your performance at the Cambrian library in San Jose. FYI, you rocked all of their little worlds, and they have been talking about nothing else since. I imagine you hear this all the time. Right now I can pretty much get my kids to do anything I want just by promising to let them listen to the CD I bought that evening. Thanks for that."

"It has taken me a few days to get my thoughts together to even try to explain the gratitude and excitement from our party. You are AMAZING! You pulled Emma and all the other shy kids RIGHT out of their shy shells…you kept 2 year olds to 72 year olds completely entertained for quite a show! They could have gone for another hour or so I am sure! You were a HIT! I really have no words to describe! Emma is still talking about how Daffy (aka Happy) Dave was at her party, and his socks and his pants falling down and her balloons and and and and…THANK YOU for giving my child an AWESOME memory that I know she will hold onto the rest of her life! I guess you are going to have to save the last weekend in July for us from now on!!!!! Don’t forget her graduation! Ha ha hahaaaaa…You are her new best friend!!!!!! Gonna have to bring her to some of your appearances.

THANK YOU THANK YOU THANK YOU!!!!!!!!!!!!!"

"When it comes to daffy, Dave is the man! His high-energy, highly-animated comedy delights young children and resonates with older folks who appreciate the 'shtick' of slapstick. A kid at heart and a master of music, storytelling and merry making, Daffy Dave presents a non-stop show full of smiles and laughs."

"Your songs are really very funny but not stupid. Each one is meant to teach but in a very original way. You matched popular songs, rock and roll, cool music with fun and education. . .and you hit the mark!!!"
Piera Vernice, Teacher, Rome, Italy

"My kids are always so excited to hear your (CD) and now they have their favorite requests. "Don't wake up the Baby" is the current fav. I put on (the) CD in the car for crowd control and everyone gets a turn picking out the next song -- whew!"
