Dave Johnson can’t pretend that growing older never hurts. At an age at when many men get that motorcycle, sports car, or toupee they’ve always wanted, Dave decided to try his hand at stand-up comedy. And now his hip hurts.
A lifelong resident of Minneapolis, his is a cautionary tale of marriage, parenting, aging, and the pit falls of suburban living that will have you laughing in empathy. Or maybe it’s sympathy. Either way, audiences enjoy his honest but twisted take on everything life has thrown his way.
