The premise

Here’s the bit.

Bruce leads a song through shops, a bedroom, a park and a garage, introducing acquaintances who share the name Dave. Brief portraits of their everyday lives give way to an awkward pause for someone he barely knows. A growing group of Daves, including Dave Foley, joins him for the finale.

Say it with us

Highly quotable.

These are the Daves I know, I know / These are the Daves I know

David Hoffner / He works in my dad's store / He's worked here for 12 years / He'll probably work here four more

Dave Gord / I've known since I was six / In grade eight he broke his leg / So we got drunk and sick

Some of them are Davids / (But most of us are Daves) / They all have their own hands / But they come from different mums

Dave Jadisky / Man this cat can swing / He weighs almost 50 pounds / And he delivers my paper on time

Dave Capisano / I hardly know him
