Dave and CALMs partnership campaign, titled Be the mate youd want, centres around the idea that small gestures from a friend can be a lifeline for someone going through a tough time. It launched on the 26th November 2018 with a four-minute ad break takeover voiced by comedian James Acaster. At 9.08pm, one minute before the takeover, the channel saw a 73% increase in adult viewers tuning in. 147% more 16-34 year olds tuned in and specifically, 162% more men aged between 16-34. There were TV, print and radio ads, all with the aim of encouraging people to do something to show a mate that theyre there for them.
The partnership continues with its first linear commission Comedy Against Living Miserably. The first of the three-part series airs on Tuesday night, hosted by Joel Dommett with sets from John Robins, Judi Love and Kiri Pritchard-Mclean inbetween heart-warming and frank discussions about mental health.

About Dave
Freeview 19, Sky 111, Virgin 127, YouView 19, Freesat 157, BT & TalkTalk 19 On demand on UKTVPlay Ever since it was knee high to a TV remote, Dave had an idea. It wanted to be the first place viewers would come for brand-new, award-winning comedy entertainment from the biggest and brightest stars and production companies in the UK. And in the years since, it has launched some of the most exciting and best-loved titles on TV, including the launch of Taskmaster. The channels critically-acclaimed established comedy hits Hypothetical, Jon Richardson: Ultimate Worrier and Comedians Giving Lectures will shortly welcome the forthcoming Mel Giedroyc: Unforgivable. And its not just in front of the camera where the comic genius lies either, with a wealth of scripted treasure such as Sliced, the upcoming Meet the Richardsons and a first ever feature-length special for Red Dwarf.
Daves not content on just making you laugh and share gags with your mates though. Expedition with Steve Backshall and Hurricane Man show off regions and aspects of the earth never before seen on TV while the resurrection of the hit series Worlds Most Dangerous Roads promises to test some of the UKs biggest comedic friendships to their absolute limits. Eddie Eats America and Big Zuus Big Eats deliver mouth-watering food shows with a Dave twist while Red Bull Soapbox continues to delight with its boundless capacity for invention.
The partnership between Dave and CALM continues to grow, having launched the Be The Mate Youd Want campaign, the Conversations Against Living Miserably podcast and its first commission on the horizon, Comedy Against Living Miserably for three stand-up specials.
Reaching 20million viewers a month, Daves come a long way, but its only just getting warmed up.
