Removal of (sic)

Is the inclusion of this after the Let's Get Ready to Ramble really necessary? --Roddie Digital 00:17, 6 July 2007 (UTC)

Dave

I think dave is the hottest thingg since sliced bread, but I havent seen any of his movies —Preceding unsigned comment added by 71.37.235.142 (talk • contribs) 14:13, 6 May 2006

do we need to say where and when comedy dave was married? —Preceding unsigned comment added by Maniacgeorge (talk • contribs) 07:03, 12 May 2006

I wouldn't see why not. --Robdurbar 07:17, 12 May 2006 (UTC)

Comments

Is Dave half Chinese at all? Just wondering.

I think the article undervalues Dave's contribution to the Chris Moyles show, both in writing, in off the cuff quips and in playing a valuable role in the group dynamic as the Extremely Loyal Mate who always takes Chris' side and refuses to criticize him. The article seems to suggest all he does is the Tedious Link and Let's Get Ready to Ramble.

Also, Dave seems to have an impressive knowledge of popular music, which it would be good to see acknowledged. —Preceding unsigned comment added by 131.111.255.103 (talk • contribs) 19:17, 12 September 2006

Come on Dave, you wrote this didn't you? —Preceding unsigned comment added by 195.171.40.130 (talk) 16:42, 31 July 2008 (UTC)

Divorce

The sentence with regards to Dave getting a divorce due to an affair with Aled sounds suspiciously like a pisstake ;) doktorrob™ 20:40, 25 September 2006 (UTC)

Football

Comedy Dave is an Everton F.C supporter, and holds a season ticket at Goodison Park, not their scouse rivals Tranmere Rovers

Dead?

He is being listed as dead on the Nov 13 page and someone keeps adding a date of death to this page. Is there any reliable confirmation that he is in fact dead? --ukexpat 13:57, 13 November 2007 (UTC)

Place of Birth

The body of the Article lists his place of birth initially as Germany, but the template as Hong Kong. I understood it was Hong Kong Seo01 (talk) 10:11, 10 January 2008 (UTC)

ironic

What is, by definition, "ironic" about the nickname Comedy Dave? Surely this is too subjective for an encyclopeadic article? Madeinsane (talk) 00:34, 21 August 2009 (UTC)

I know this is an old comment, but it's ironic because he isn't very funny, although I can imagine that this would be difficult to prove with sources as you can only tell from listening to the radio shows. Chevymontecarlo 12:26, 18 December 2010 (UTC)

Renameing

I propose the renaming of the article to Dave Vitty for the following reasons:

• Comerdy Dave is a Nickname not a stage name
• Outside Radio 1 he is called Dave Vitty
• Its his Real Name

Discuss. C. 22468 (talk) 11:35, 18 March 2011 (UTC)

Guidelines suggest that articles should be titled by the name the individual is most known by. --Escape Orbit ^(Talk) 11:43, 18 March 2011 (UTC)

On Radio 1 he is normally called Comedy Dave or just Dave, However on other things he is normally called Dave Vitty another example is Mark Chapman (broadcaster) C. 22468 (talk) 15:19, 18 March 2011 (UTC)

With the Chris Moyles Show about to come to an end, he will surely no longer be referred to as Comedy Dave, a nickname he only had while working with Moyles. Swaddon1903 (talk) 20:45, 9 September 2012 (UTC)

Let's not speculate on what may happen. If he becomes commonly known by his own name in the future, then the article can be renamed at the time. --Escape Orbit ^(Talk) 11:03, 12 September 2012 (UTC)

Is it now finally the time to rename this page ?

Yes. Swaddon1903 (talk) 14:27, 18 May 2020 (UTC)
