‘Fifty Shades of Dave’ has been best described as a brutally honest, ‘warts and all’ exposé of the perception of male mental health in modern society; specifically, the north of England.

It’s often brash and unashamed narrative unapologetically reflects actual life events of the writer and blends risqué, tongue in cheek humour with gut wrenching drama and heartbreak as told through the troubled character of ‘Dave’. Begins 16th September, 2019.

Warning: Contains very strong language and themes of an adult nature from the outset. Also contains triggering accounts of grief and suicide.

As she’s rudely awoken from a bad dream, Rosie Barfield's (Claudia Grier) worst nightmare is about to begin. Her love life is thriving but her job as a presenter for ‘Bickenhole Radio’ is diving. Her trusted friend and producer Neil Folding (Curtis Ledsham) attempts to lift the spirits of his bored counterpart by adding new spice to the show’s tired format - by making contact with a listener…

The town of Bickenhole is pissed - and for once, it’s not in the alcoholic sense. It seems conducting a counselling session live on air isn’t what the listener base wants. This inadvertently makes Rosie (Claudia Grier) and Neil (Curtis Ledsham) public enemies number one and two. Spurned on by this backlash, the charming Bickenhole Radio GM Declan Eaveson (Allan Lear) acts in the only way he knows how and delivers a startling ultimatum…

Since launching 'Fifty Shades of Dave' we had over 10,000 streams and downloads in 10 countries across the globe as far as Australia and Singapore . To celebrate these achievements we are thrilled to release our ‘F@&k Ups; Blooper Reel’ special as a gift from us to you. We had such a blast recording this debut series and despite the fact we were locked in a very hot and sweaty recording studio for 8 hours it took its toll and the cracks certainly began to show in a way only a gag reel can show! Join the cast one last time for a 9 minute selection of never before released ad-libs and hilarious gaffs that made a difficult day of recording very enjoyable indeed!

We are TWO years old today! How crazy is that?

Long before words like COVID and LOCKDOWN were even a thing, 10 sweaty people crammed themselves into a pokey recording studio in Liverpool to create 'Fifty Shades of Dave' a comedy, a drama, a sublime mess of emotion, knob gags and male mental health.

To celebrate, here is Allan Lear who plays Bickenhole Radio Boss Declan Eaveson to tell us more.
