Dave Spikey is an English comedian
based in Chorley, Lancashire.
In 1992, Dave was asked to form a double act with
Rick Sykes, as purely a 'one-off' to support a popular
musical duo called 'Intaglio'. Dave and Rick were known
as 'Spikey and Sykey'. The double acts most notable
success came on Central TV's 'New Faces' show.
A turning point came one summer Sunday evening in
1993 when Dave got a phone call to see if 'he could
get to Blackpool in half an hour'. Cannon and Ball
were appearing at 'The Opera House' and they needed
a compere immediately.
Dave won the Best Newcomer award at the Comedy Awards,
and there he met Peter Kay with whom he wrote and acted
in Phoenix Nights, a hit comedy series on Channel Four.
In 2004, Dave released his first DVD, The Overnight
Success Tour. Towards the end of 2004, he wrote the
ITV comedy-drama, Dead Man Weds, which he also co-starred
in, in 2005, with Johnny Vegas. In 2005 Spikey was
one of the regular team captains on the comedy panel
game, 8 Out of 10 Cats. |
