He’s recently written four plays: an adaptation of Andy Griffiths’ classic ‘The Day My Bum Went Psycho’; two plays based on his own books ‘My Hamster is a Genius’ and ‘My Hamster is a Pirate’; and an original play called ‘Goldie – The Untold Story of Goldilocks’.
He has also co-written ‘Café’, an episode of the brilliant TV show ‘Bluey’.
Things Dave likes: cups of tea, libraries, Indian food, West Bromwich Albion FC, mint-choc-chip ice cream.
Things Dave is scared of: spiders, snakes, heights, broccoli.
Ted, Dave’s mini sausage dog, is mostly well-behaved but sometimes wees when he is excited to see you.
Dave is terrible at drawing. His ‘Stinky and Jinks’ and ‘The Incredible Dadventure’ books are illustrated by The Boy Fitz Hammond, who is really good at drawing.
