He’s appeared on MTV, Showtime, Viceland, NFL Network, Trutv, and was named one of Comedy Central’s top Comics to watch in 2015. He’s also a co-host of the wildly popular All Fantasy Everything podcast as well as the newer hit Shinin’ With Sam and Dave. He’s written for Comedy Central, Fusion, and the ESPY awards, all of which he thinks is pretty good for a dude who used to get 4lokos on credit at the liquor store (shoutout to Randy at Tabor Liquors). David was going to try to explain his comedy using words like “fearless” and “daring” and “new” but then he remembered he thinks that’s corny and refused to go out like that. He does want you to know that he’s a proud son of a hard working Sierra Leonean, his mother, and he reps Colorado real heavy and he’s never called the cops.
