Jim and Martha Dugan’s boy- Dave- was born to be a comedian. A one-of-a-kind delivery accompanied by impeccable timing and imaginative comedy angles has led DAVE DUGAN down the path to NATIONAL TV APPEARANCES and to RAVE REVIEWS from corporate event planners.
Back when he shaved every two weeks, whether he needed to or not, a young Dave headed to Los Angeles from Indiana and, within a few months, got his first break from the legendary Dick Clark. Clark included the new Californian on one of his many nighttime music-driven shows on ABC. That led to multiple appearances on the then ratings-leading Arsenio Hall Show and Dave instantly became a favorite at the world-famous Comedy Store in Hollywood, a regular writer and contributor on the most popular morning radio show in the country (Bob and Tom) and can be heard regularly on Sirius Radio. Headlining at theaters and clubs all over the country, Dugan has made a lasting impression with his one-of-a-kind, dry, everyman style.
It’s the same natural style that led him to comedy in the first place. Although, to hear Dave tell it, he had nowhere else to turn.
“Born into a family of home builders, I quickly found that being handy is not necessarily hereditary.” One summer, he worked on construction jobs for his dad and quickly found he was allergic to hard labor. “In some ways, I think I entered the world of comedy by default.”
One more fun fact, In May, Dave set a World Record for number of laps driven around a roundabout (1001 laps and 4 hours and 28 minutes beating the record formerly held by an Aussie)…the quest helped raise thousands for cancer programs and services. At their annual fundraiser, the charitable organization presented Dave with an award to acknowledge his world record for charity. Dugan claims, It is the only award I have ever won, unless you count Honorable Mention for my 5th Grade science fair project—-The Digestive System.”
