David Vitty

David Lloyd Vitty (Comedy Dave), born April 24 1974 in Hong Kong, is officially the writer for The Chris Moyles Show broadcast on Radio 1 in the United Kingdom, although 'sidekick to Moyles' is a good description of his secondary role.

David fell into his role kind of by accident - he studied Radio Production at college, but never had any ambitions to be 'on air'. Whilst working as a 'tech op' at Radio One he met Chris Moyles. David's main contribution to the programme is the Tedious Link, a spurious collection of loosely connected information, where one grain of fact leads miraculously into another by way of juxtaposition, which then eventually leads into the title of a song (or the musicians responsible for it), often a classic or memorable tune, which is played at precisely 9am, preceded by the Radio-Four-friendly Greenwich time pips.

Around 9.10am, Dave draws in a large quantity of breath and sings Lets get ready to ramble, then holds onto the last syllable for a good ten seconds, over which is played music which in the past has included Battle Without Honour Or Humanity, by Tomoyasu Hotei from Kill Bill
