Enjoy the sounds of the season as we bring you a spectacular tribute to Frank Sinatra and Tom Jones. Settle in for an unforgettable evening, where timeless hits and festive favourites create the perfect ambiance for a truly magical night!

Your performer, Dave La Fame, is the of 2012 Las Vegas Celebrity Impersonators Convention award: 1st place male entertainer. 3rd place overall.

Dave impersonates Elton John & Tom Jones. And has additional look/sound-a-like tributes to Roy Orbison & Bobby Darin.
He is an accomplished bass player and works with Message In A Bottle - A tribute to the music of Sting & The Police. As well as alternative 80s music band The Strangest Things. The popularity of both these shows, takes Dave to theatres, casinos, cruise lines & corporate events throughout Canada, the United States & around the globe.

Dave's entertainment career began in London, England many (!) years ago as a teenager, playing bass guitar and singing with various bands.
In 1981, looking for a way to "keep himself out of trouble", a friend persuaded him to audition for a London stage production of the musical Grease. Considering it bit of a joke & expecting to be thrown out, to keep the friend happy he auditioned anyway. He didn't get thrown out! In fact he landed the 2nd leading male role in show: "Kenicke"!

Almost immediately, Dave realized he had found his vocation in life. Lead and supporting roles quickly followed in theatre productions of "Alfie", "Entertaining Mr. Sloane", "Straight-Up" and more.
In 1984 armed with $500, a suitcase, ambition & street smarts; Dave moved to Canada. Full time work in the entertainment industry was not forthcoming. So for the next few years Dave worked in direct & retail sales. Selling everything from door to door vacuums & soda machines to new & used cars. Achieving success in several of these fields lead to promotion & management.
But the call of entertaining was too much. By 1990, Dave turned professional. Working mainly in live theatre as an actor/singer. The addition of television & film roles, playing bass & singing with bands live & in studio. Singing "Oh Canada" at gala events, all meant that entertainment was now his full time profession.

The rest is history!
