There is no other show on Earth like Rattlebrain, and no other performer quite as endearing and pathetic as Dave Shirley.


Rattlebrain is a high-tech multimedia journey through the hilarious and boldly original mind of Dave. A former street performer, Dave utilizes a unique and otherwise useless arsenal of comedic skills to take you on a roller coaster ride riddled with broken track. Rattlebrain is his hysterical, tongue-firmly-planted-in-cheek story of an epic rise to mediocrity and a dramatic fall to redemption.


Rattlebrain is an experience that will leave you laughing hard and walking away wondering, "What the hell was that?" And, if you come up with a great answer, he would love to hear it.


WHO IS DAVE?

Dave Shirley began his illustrious performing career on the streets of Colorado juggling fire and swallowing razor blades, one dollar at a time. It was there that he began a lifelong pursuit of skills that had very little purpose in life. Talents such as eating fire, doing magic tricks, and balancing objects brought him lots of joy—but practically no future. Naturally, he then experimented with other types of performing such as improvisation, traditional stage theater and sketch comedy, pursuits with an equally fun but grim future.


But, after many years of honing his acting skills, Dave created Rattlebrain Theater Company in Denver, Colorado. There, he succeeded as the head writer and Artistic Director for Rattlebrain's critically acclaimed original comedies. He even got paid more than one dollar.


Dave now focuses his energy on a brand-new one man show that he sometimes describes as “things Dave finds funny” or “a cross between Blue Man Group and Penn & Teller but without the impressive magic and without the blue.” He has finally found a purpose for a lifetime's-worth of useless skills—by putting them into a single show with the sole purpose of making you laugh.
