Original Recording Date: June 11, 2024After ascending the corporate ladder in his family's South Florida car business, Dave Williamson discovered a passion for making his customers smile, but found true fulfillment in making them laugh.Since then, he has excelled in nearly every major domestic comedy festival, consistently reaching the finals or earning "Best of The Fest" honors at events such as the World Series of Comedy, Boston Comedy Festival, San Francisco Comedy Competition, Big Sky Comedy Festival, the SLO Comedy Festival, among others.Following his recognition as “Best Comedian in Miami” by the Miami New Times, Dave packed up his family into a 25-foot travel trailer and embarked on a North American tour, eventually settling in Los Angeles after 18 months on the road. This journey was captured in a series of shorts produced by Nickelodeon.Dave continues to tour extensively, headlining his own shows and supporting Bert Kreischer in performances at prestigious venues like the historic Greek Theater, The Grand Ol' Opry, and Red Rocks. His latest album, “Trying My Hardest,” recently released by Stand Up! Records, quickly climbed to #1 on the iTunes Charts for Comedy.
