Recognized by Variety Magazine as one of their ’10 Comics to Watch’ in 2007, Dave Hill has built a multi-faceted career across comedy, acting, writing, and music. That same year, Hill starred in his own television program, The King of Miami, further establishing his comedic presence. His musical roots extend to the 1990s as a member of the alternative band Sons of Elvis, which signed with Priority Records and released their album Glodean in 1995. The album’s lead single, ‘Formaldehyde,’ received airplay on radio and MTV, and was notably included in the soundtrack for the film Higher Learning.

Hill continues his musical endeavors as the lead singer and guitarist for the band Valley Lodge, whose song ‘Go’ serves as the iconic theme for HBO’s Emmy Award-winning Last Week Tonight with John Oliver. His acting work spans various television series, including Inside Amy Schumer (2013), Full Frontal with Samantha Bee (2016), and Unbreakable Kimmy Schmidt (2017). Expanding his musical repertoire, Hill co-founded the psychedelic rock band Painted Doll in 2016 with Chris Reifert, and has lent his bass skills to artists like Lucy Wainwright Roche and Chuck Mosley, and played guitar for Walter Schreifels and Diamondsnake. As an accomplished author, Hill has published the essay collections Tasteful Nudes and Dave Hill Doesn’t Live Here Anymore.

This latest appearance underscores his enduring appeal and versatility across diverse entertainment platforms.
