Who Dave Is: Bio

Dave Yubruh (his last name rhymes with “rub ya”) has performed his jokes, stories and songs at comedy and variety shows throughout the Northeast, bringing to the stage the perspectives someone who started performing stand-up comedy at the tender age of 51.

Dave has brought his comedy to clubs, theaters, restaurants, schools, arts centers, cafés, indoor conference rooms, outdoor pavilions, nursing homes, a German shooting club, people's houses, a school wrestling room, and bars galore.

Dave also sings original songs and parodies while playing a plugged-in ukulele or a keyboard, or to backing tracks. Audiences enjoy his comical compositions (including the ballad "My Wife Is In Love With the Dog" and "You're Fairly Attractive," a parody of James Blunt’s “You’re Beautiful”) so much that they keep asking when he'll put out a CD. (It's coming.)

This means that Dave offers a 2-for-1 deal: both jokes and songs for the price of just one comedian. Or he'll do just jokes. Or just songs. OK?

Most of his material is in the G to PG range, and he is comfortable performing to audiences of all ages at comedy shows, variety shows, and private events.
