In “David & David”, audiences will be delighted (and a little confused) as they are welcomed into 123 Main Street, the brownstone apartment of the titular roommates David Byrne and David Lynch, played by David Lynch and David Byrne, reverse respectively. First performed at The Annoyance as a sold-out test show back in December of 2023, David & David is an exploration/parody/send-up of 80’s sitcoms that promises to make you (and the pre-recorded live studio audience) laugh, applaud, whistle, and cheer.
CW: Fake gun (and accompanying single gunshot sound effect), mentions of self-harm, and dramatized violence

Calder Amsden
Calder Amsden (he/him) is a longshore fisherman and singer/songwriter. According to Rolling Stone, Amsden "reinvigorated the literate, lyrical traditions of Bob Dylan and Hoobastank with the raw energy and sass that were principal ethics of shanties". Now he's doing this.. which is cool I guess.
Dane Larson
Dane Larson (he/him) is so excited and happy to be a part of David & David! To play Nic Cage, is like stealing the Declaration of Independence, something only Nic Cage would do and to join his ranks is truly an honor. Dane is so grateful to the cast and crew and ecstatic to put on this performance!
Hobert Thompson
Hobert Thompson is dead. To "Act" is to "experience the death of self in order to achieve" "True Performance." To be Werner Herzog is to no longer be Hobert. If you call me Hobert at the bar later I will not respond, I will simply look over my shoulder at you and say "I don't know him" and you'll look like an asshole who doesn't get "Acting." You want to look cool, right?
Jake Steelman
Jake Steelman is. In fact, he can't quite remember a time he ever wasn't. Even in his earliest memory he can vividly recall being. Soon this show will become one of those (a memory). He hopes it's a good one (the show). He hopes you think so too.
Jared Narter-Slezak
Lights! Camera! Action! Comedy? Jared Narter-Slezak. Person! Live theatre? Passion! The Annoyance? Currently. Acting? Check. Writing? Check. Prefered form of payment? Zelle. Cat?
