“Little Dave”
Early life
“Little Dave” was born a week early in Edinburgh, UK, on 18 November 2022, to surrogate mother Maija. He had a difficult birth with significant surgery being required.
Ten days later he moved to Oxfordshire to live with coach David Lowe and family. His upbringing was a pleasant one: “I was was cared for and doted on by my family,” he said in an interview in late 2022.
Early career
Little Dave quickly adapted to a life of performance and grew in confidence from his first appearance via Zoom on 30 November.
He was an instant success with audiences from around the world. His most noted and distinguishing skill was expressing his emotions and thoughts through his trademark double eyebrow flash.
Rise to fame
It wasn’t long before people started asking for Little Dave merch and in 2023 he started handing out his own sticker featuring his catchphrase of “Don’t be a fuppet”. In the winter of 2023, Little Dave ran a campaign of “Little Dave on a Misbehave” (his own version of Elf on a Shelf).
Little Dave still lives with his family in Oxfordshire.
