Dave Spikey's career began in 1992 after many years writing routines and sketches for other comedians, TV and radio. He was half of the legendary double act - Spikey and Sykey, who's most notable success was on Central TV's 'New Faces' show where they finished a close third to a Todmorden Whippet juggler and a Latvian plumber who played “I’ve got sixpence , jolly jolly sixpence “ on a radiator. After reaching this zenith of achievement ,S & S's career inevitably plummeted and they split up in Scarborough soon afterwards over an argument concerning fish**. Since then, Dave has spent the intervening years developing a variety of top class sets to cater for every audience. He is one of the very few comedians who works with great success in both the Alternative & Mainstream arenas. He has performed two highly acclaimed sell-out national tours – The “Living the Dream Tour” The Overnight Success Tour” which won him the “Performance of the Year” at the prestigious Manchester Evening News Theatre Awards and Leicester Mercury’s “Best Comedy Performance” . He has recently been voted into the top 60 of Channel 4’s “100 greatest Stand-Ups” and has been a team captain on four series of Channel 4’s popular panel show “8 out of 10 Cats” – Oh and he’s the current host of classic game show “Bullseye”
His writing credits are impressive and he has won 2 British Comedy Awards . One for Best New TV Comedy for 'That Peter Kay Thing' and one for “Phoenix Nights” which he co-wrote with Peter Kay and Neil Fitzmaurice. Other successes include a BAFTA nomination and a “Best Comedy” RTS award . His recent writing credits include “Dead Man Weds” for ITV and “Magnolia” for BBC1. He currently has three writing projects at various stages of development.
His writing credits are impressive and he was awarded The British Comedy Award for Best New TV Comedy for 'That Peter Kay Thing' which he co-wrote with Peter Kay. Their credits also include; The Services, and Phoenix Nights.
