Still Here by Dave & the Daves is more than a play; it’s a 60-minute lifeline on stage that champions mental health through laughter, music, and the art of storytelling. A bit of slapstick, a healthy dose of character comedy, and a few raw truths about navigating life with depression, Still Here is an intoxicating blend of uproarious laughter and heartfelt empathy.
Against the background of a society where depression and suicide statistics are alarmingly high – over nine lives are lost to suicide daily in Australia – in steps Dave Houston, mixing up a hilarious brew of clowning, razor-sharp character comedy and live songs from punk to hip-hop to psyched-up folk rock.
Still Here will introduce you to a colourful tapestry of characters, from the showbiz master Uncle David to the charismatic hip-hop sensation Rave Dave. Meet the ever-bumbling Davo, a work-for-the-dole roadie (and let’s not forget Byron Bay life coach Darvid Uluru Crystal, stoner Davology, and psychiatrist Davina.
Receiving standing ovations and rave reviews across the country, Still Here is showing for two nights this month in the Northern Rivers. On Wednesday, May 8, at The Citadel in Murwillumbah and Friday, May 10, at the Byron Theatre.
