David Lloyd Vitty (Comedy Dave), born April 24 1974 in Hong Kong, is officially the writer for The Chris Moyles Show broadcast on Radio 1 in the United Kingdom, although 'sidekick to Moyles' is a good description of his secondary role.
David fell into his role kind of by accident - he studied Radio Production at college, but never had any ambitions to be 'on air'. Whilst working as a 'tech op' at Radio One he met Chris Moyles. The two clicked and Chris invited Dave to work with him on his early morning show. When Chris transfered to drive time in 1998, Dave went with him and accquired the monicker 'Comedy Dave'.
David's main contribution to the current programme - The Chris Moyles Show - is the Tedious Link, a spurious collection of loosely connected information, where one grain of fact leads miraculously into another by way of juxtaposition, which then eventually leads into the title of a song (or the musicians responsible for it), often a classic or memorable tune, which is played at precisely 9am, preceded by the Radio-Four-friendly Greenwich time pips.
Around 9.10am, Dave draws in a large quantity of breath and sings Lets get ready to ramble, then holds onto the last syllable for a good ten seconds, over which is played music which in the past has included Battle Without Honour Or Humanity, by Tomoyasu Hotei from Kill Bill
He supports Everton FC and, although born in Hong Kong, spent much of his use in Warrington, Cheshire. Dave married Emma Pontefract at the Tudor Barn close to Burnham Beeches on August 23 2003.
Since 2002, he has co-presented an occasional sport-themed show on Radio 1 entitled Chappers and Dave, with The Scott Mills Show sidekick Chappers.
