Dave Shirley began his illustrious performing career on the streets of Denver and Boulder Colorado juggling fire and swallowing razor blades for one dollar at a time. It was there that he began to learn skills that had very little purpose in life. Talents such as eating fire, doing magic tricks and balancing objects brought him lots of joy but practically no recognition. He found himself experimenting with different types of performing such as improvisation, traditional stage theater and sketch comedy. After many years of honing his acting skills in theater and improvisation, he created Rattlebrain Theater Company with his wife Jane in the lower level of the D&F Clock Tower. It was there that he acted as the head writer and Artistic Director for their critically acclaimed original comedies. Dave was also fortunate enough to tour the nation in 2 original comedies Triple Espresso and The Male Intellect: An Oxymoron. He has now focused his energy on a brand new one man show that he sometimes describes as “all things Dave finds funny” utilizing his lifetime of useless skills and putting them into a single show with the sole purpose of making you laugh.
