Dave’s unique perspective and
sarcasm gives us a hilarious hour of stand-up comedy that won’t soon be
forgotten. Dave will make you laugh and think! He finds the humor wherever
common sense is in jeopardy, such as the prescription drug industry, in ordering
a simple cup of coffee at Starbucks and in his girlfriend’s incomprehensible
view of the world. In the tradition of Mort Sahl, George Carlin, and Bill Mahr,
comes Dave Reinitz.
Dave Reinitz is originally from Ithaca New York but currently resides in Los
Angeles California. The son of a history professor father and an artist mother,
he has been seeking to understand conflict for most of his life. His father
passed away when he was only 13, thereby leaving him to experience his teenage
years with an all female family, a Mother, two sisters, and the female family
cat.
Dave graduated from his High School as his class valedictorian! Of course, this
sounds much more impressive than it really is. You see, he attended “The
Alternative Community School” and never actually received any letter grades, so
he was only the valedictorian because he gave the graduation speech, but a fine
speech it was! He also went on to study at the State University of New York,
Brockport, but found that something else was calling to him. So after a few
years he got the travel bug and off he went, not on a cruise or vacation, but on
a road trip. He bought a 1973-dodge Mobley traveler motor home, and began to
travel across the country. The next 4 years were filled with restaurant and
bartending jobs, from Cape Cod to Venice Beach. But the fun soon came to an end
when the engine in the motor home blew up Dave settled in Los Angeles and
decided that stand-up comedy would be a way to tell his many stories and express
his new found freedom.
Dave has been performing as a professional Stand up Comedian for over 10 years.
He has worked as an MC, feature and Headline performer for Clubs, Corporate
Events and Colleges all over the country. He is also the Co-Executive Producer
of H2F Comedy Productions Inc, a Comedy Management and Development Company, that
produce such shows as “Uncle Clyde’s Comedy Contest, and “Survival of the
Funniest.” He was also the Assistant Publisher and Comedy Editor of Laugh-Line
Magazine (1999-2001).
After being emotionally affected and inspired to be heard after the events of
911, Dave decided that his comedic voice would take on a political twist. He
lists George Carlin, Bill Maher and Chris Rock as sources of inspiration. He
recently tied for 1st Place in the San Jose Improv Comedy Contest and continues
to perform at Clubs and College across the country. Forget reading the
newspaper, spend an hour with Dave and find out what’s really going on in the
world!
