It's possible David Foster is the only comedian from New York who's appeared on HBO, MTV, and Showtime, has a Masters degree in Traditional Chinese Medicine, was arrested seven times as an adolescent, speaks Spanish fluently, performed "Mama Said Knock You Out" at his Bar-Mitzvah, has a black belt in karate and a daily meditation practice; though it's true, you never know who else is out there. If that wasn't too much to digest then you're ready for David's uniquely cerebral brand of humor. Born and raised in New York, David is one of the city's funniest up-and-coming philosophers posing as a stand-up comic. In spite of his juvenile experimentation with graffiti, marijuana, and shoplifting, he was a straight-A student, always on the honor roll. Around the legally transformative age of 18, he straightened out his act and shortly thereafter discovered his act on stage. Success and recognition came quickly. His popular Manhattan public access talk show grabbed the attention of MTV, and by his fourth year in comedy, he'd been featured on HBO, Showtime and MTV—many of his segments still being aired on VH1's Best Pranks. He won the 2011 Boston Comedy Festival's New York Competition and was first runner-up in the Comix at Foxwoods' 2012 Last Comix Standing contest. On stage, David dissects the root causes of his anxieties and tells stories of how his adolescence staunchly contrasted with what his Jewish mother had envisioned for him. Philosophically, he dissects the human stream of consciousness, criticizes our educational and medical systems, and refutes cynical perspectives, which is unique to what we hear from most stand-ups. While it's become common for comedians to make fun of things like spiritual faith, hip-hop white guys, and natural forms of medicine, David brilliantly conveys the opposite perspectives with a hilarious and unique charisma. Refreshing to listen to and an absolute pleasure to watch, his career has progressed reasonably fast!
