STILL HERE by Dave & the Dave's

A depression comedy promoting mental wellbeing through storytelling, song and laughter.

‘You’ll struggle to find a more engaging theatrical solo performer at the Fringe than Dave Houston.’ Edinburgh Fringe Festival

With depression and suicide statistics at an all time high, with over 9 deaths per week in Australia, comes a new music theatre show that  is full of honesty, joy and heart.  A depression comedy,  featuring the versatile acting skills of Dave Houston, as he weaves multiple characters, elements of clown and stand-up comedy,  songs and courageous storytelling.

The show explores  depression, suicide and recovery with a variety of  rock'n'roll, folk and punk songs.  The production gives a sideways wink to the world of theatre and unlike the Dr Seuss poem, Too Many Dave’s, this show has just the right amount of Dave’s including Uncle David, the professional actor and show biz master, who can now only tour Gold Coast clubs, Rave Dave King of Hip Hop, work for the dole stage manager Davo, and Dave with stories of drama school, depression, medication, love, loss and life.

Dave Houston, himself with a lived experience of mental health challenges has been acting and writing songs since he was 17. He took his first solo show to the Edinburgh Fringe Festival, has made 6 studio albums and created theatre works for schools and festivals, performing around the world. Dave Houston bio  

​The theatre show runs for 60 minutes and is presented by Full-On Theatre.  Musicians Samwise and Charlie Bamford accompany Dave Houston during the theatre show.

HEART SHAPED LOGIC (the band)
deliver a tripped out sonic voyage through the chambers of the human heart. Heart Shaped Logic is the brain child of multi instrumentalist Samwise Seidel and Pianist Charlie Bamford. Recidivist bandmates Samwise and Charlie have birthed this project to explore the therapeutic process of introspective songwriting, crafting objects with a fascination of timbre, harmony and the human condition.
