About Us
We are Dave's Friends. We're composed of Ariel, Maya, and Bill! A group so funny, we don't even need a Dave. Forged in the ancient year of 2017, back when PS5s were just a rumor. There's no platform we are too afraid to cover! We've performed on stage, in both New York City AND LA, we're all over the social medias (YouTube, Facebook, Instagram, Twitter or X, Rizzle), we may even be performing in your home RIGHT NOW!! Check us out! Become a friend! We mix pop culture, stream of consciousness, and the surreal into a tasty salad that won't cost you calories, so you can come back for seconds and even thirds! We don't bite... anymore (the doctor's cured that.)
