From finding Richard Pryor in a Poundland to making a fool of himself in front of Bill Bailey, this episode is packed with stories, legendary names and moments that shaped Dave into the dillusional man with an obssessive love of comedy you hear before you.

Dave talks about the comedians who changed everything for him growing up, the personal mission to make every teacher laugh before GCSEs were over, and what it actually feels like to accidentally become Bill Bailey's scape goat.

Dave talks about his near miss on Saturday Night Live UK and how SNL UK went with something very similar anyway! Plus, we find out if Dave has what it gets to be successful by going over an extremly popular 'Succussful checklist'.

I gave myself five years to sell out the O2 Arena. We’re now halfway through I'm nowhere near. I’ve somehow managed to complete a bunch of “impossible” dreams before. I got my own radio show, DJ'd my favourite festival, voiced a character in a film, and ended up on TV so this podcast is me figuring out whether I can pull off one more.

Each week, I’ll be documenting what I’m actually doing to make this happen (or failing to do), talking to people who’ve chased big dreams of their own, and generally trying to work out if there’s a smarter way to get there or if the delusional is strong in this one.

In this first episode: Why I set the O2 goal in the first place The moment someone told me I might be too old to be dreaming like this The five “impossible” dreams I’ve already completed (and how they actually happened) How I accidentally ended up on radio, TV, and DJing festivals Why you absolutely cannot speedrun stand-up comedy and how this whole thing is going to work (in theory)

If nothing else, you can watch me try.
