The Podcast Series.
Discount Dave (and the Fix) is a 5-episode podcast series from CBC’s Personally, and an official selection of the 25th annual Tribeca Festival - the world premiere drops June 10, 2026 at Tribeca and wherever you get your podcasts. I’ve always wanted to say that.
When David Lee Roth crashes the backstage party at a Shakespeare Festival, a hedonistic young actor is set on a path of self-reckoning.
A harrowing and hilarious blend of memoir and auto-fiction, Discount Dave (and The Fix) is the true-ish story of a fake rock star, a real trial, and what it means to stop running, face yourself, and fight to heal.
The Play.
Originally an award-winning solo theatre show, having made its world premiere at the Edmonton Fringe Festival in August of 2024, Discount Dave and the Fix is a deeply personal, darkly hilarious, and provocative solo performance that aims straight for the gut.
Written and performed by Rebecca Auerbach, directed and dramaturged by Aviva Armour-Ostroff (The Drawer Boy, Lune), the play was developed through the generous support of The Ontario Arts Council, Nightwood Theatre, Studio 180, and Theatre Aquarius. In 2024, Discount Dave and The Fix earned the Cayle Chernin Award for Theatre Development, then went into further development and a sold-out run for The Vault Creation Lab’s inaugural season in the spring of 2025.
