“It was a pleasure and honor to welcome back Doug and Dave for the Los Angeles Religious Education Congress! They have been part of Youth Day for many years and always know how to capture the attention of our participants, no matter the age! With our virtual reality this year, they adapted their ministry to meet our young people where they are at. They are a professional duo, who go above and beyond what is asked of them. The Doug and Dave Show would bring light and laughter to any community.”

“The Doug and Dave Show’s Mass Confusion is a must for all Catholic schools and religious education programs. It is an amazing mix of humor, song and teachings of the Catholic Church. The students were so engaged and could not stop talking about the program. You do not want to miss this inspiring program!”
– Sister Ann, O.P., Head of School, Pope St. John Paul II Academy, Aurora, Illinois
“Mass Confusion completely exceeded my expectations. I expected to be entertained to some degree, but didn’t expect to experience solid Catechesis, good liturgical principles and an evening that would draw in the entire congregation from (ages) 8 to 80. Doug and Dave think out of the box and present their material in a fresh and often humorous way. A fun evening! I would have them back in a heartbeat.”
– Joanne Sanders, Director of Worship and Christian Initiation, Resurrection Catholic Community, Wayne, Illinois
“Ministering has dramatically changed during the pandemic, yet remotely, the Doug and Dave Show still manages to use delightful characters, songs that will make you sing out loud, inspiring stories and Catholic truths learned in new and lighthearted ways. Doug Brummel and Dave Wilson are the perfect antidote to the blues of pandemic. Smiles are guaranteed.”

“It was impossible not to feel the synergy between Doug, the master storyteller, and Dave, the accomplished musician. Dave had us up and moving and singing, while Doug, through his characters, kept us thinking. At one point, there wasn’t a dry eye in the house. It was compelling. It was energizing. It was faith-filled, and people continue to tell me about how positive they felt about the evening. “
– Deacon Rick Miech, Pastoral Associate and Liturgist, St. Peter the Fisherman Parish, Eagle River, Wisconsin
“I laughed out loud and thought it was very funny, while at the same time helpful in engaging people to understand the Catholic Mass better and appreciate our faith more. Thank you for your show!”
