Dave Green won the 2014 Comedy Knights Fresh Comedian Competition in the autumn, beating more than 160 London acts on route to winning the final in Camden. His razor-sharp, one-liner routine was chosen by judges as the stand out act ahead of 11 other finalists. “I was properly chuffed to win given the stiff competition throughout the entire process,” Dave said. “I’m now looking forward to continue gigging across the country and taking my career to the next level.” Comedy Knights’ Bobby Carroll described Dave as “a worthy winner with a bright future.”
Dave, who studied A-Levels and the Art and Design Foundation Diploma (Pre BA) at the college between 2001-2004, took up comedy in 2011 and describes his style as “darkly surreal one liners.” He has been a finalist in the prestigious industry-nominated Leicester Mercury Comedian of the Year and is a former winner of the Max Turner Award.
Speaking of his time at the college, the former Orleans Park School student said, “I made some great friends during the three years I was at RuTC and really enjoyed my studies, especially the Pre BA as it prepared me for my art degree at the University of Sheffield. I’ll always be proud to say I attended Richmond upon Thames College and look back on my time there with great fondness.”
