David was performing at the STC and Sydney Opera House by the age of 22, prompting his move to New York where he became the youngest performer ever to headline the iconic cabaret room Rainbow & Stars. In 2001, he was tempted back to the Australian stage, since then performing in a range of shows from ‘Pirates of Penzance’ to ‘Sunset Boulevard’, with a starring role as Johnny O’Keefe in ‘Shout’.
Adding ‘children’s author’ to his long list of titles and achievements, David has published the children’s books, ‘Stupid Carrots’ and ‘Bedtime is Boring’. Inspired by his own family, the books tell the tales of Betty and Billy Bunny.
