Many comics will tell you that unusual childhoods and successful careers in comedy are somehow related. Of course, every unusual childhood does not result in a comedy career and every great comedian is not required to have an unusual childhood. But for Dov Davidoff, it's fairly likely that his atypical upbringing helped him to develop his sense of humor at an early age.
According to Davidoff, he grew up in a New Jersey junkyard - raised by divorced parents who still lived together.
Certainly psychologists could hypothesize how and why this resulted in Davidoff's ability to be especially funny, but Dov likely isn't too concerned with all that; he just likes performing in front of audiences. And as far as touring comedians go, few work crowds better and interact with audiences more directly than Davidoff. Whether or not that is related to suppressed childhood insecurities doesn't exactly matter at the end of the night - he's a funny stand-up.
Now years out of his junkyard in Jersey, this LA-based comic is becoming a household name in comedy clubs all across the nation. He has performed in his own Comedy Central Presents special, appeared on The Tonight Show with Jay Leno, and has been featured twice at HBO's U.S. Comedy Arts Festival.
Come out and see Dov Davidoff performing at Helium Comedy Club February 25 & 26
