Just Chill with Oliver George #89 - Dave Merheje

Join Oliver as he chills with award-winning comedian and burgeoning Hollywood star Dave Merheje! An exceptional standup comic, Dave's work has been featured by CBC, MTV, NBC, Netflix and more. His special 'Good Friend Bad Grammar' won the 2019 JUNO Award for 'Comedy Album of the Year' and he recently released another hysterically funny offering entitled 'I Love You Habibi'. Dave's comedic prowess has also lead to an impressive list of acting accomplishments that continues to grow. In addition to his key supporting part on the Golden Globe-winning series 'Ramy', Dave's first starring role in a feature film just made it's debut at the Sundance Film Festival!

The podcast kicks off with Dave talking about his religious upbringing and where he sees himself in regards to spirituality these days. Talk then shifts to his roots in comedy and the impact that social media has made on the way performers process feedback. Leading to a larger discussion about therapy, self-love and mental health. Oliver then learns more about Dave's latest project 'Sometimes I Think About Dying' as he describes his experience co-starring opposite Daisy Ridley in the new motion picture. Chat later gets into stuff like swimming, pescetarianism and Dave's dream lineup to rap at a hypothetical hip-hop show for the ages!
