Who's Dawayne?

I work at a bar and tell
dad jokes for a living.

Well, sort of. I cook, serve, bartend, and run the socials at Solid Grill & Bar and Liquid Lounge in Boise, Idaho. I also tell dad jokes to literally anyone within earshot — coworkers, guests, the guy who just sat down and hasn't even ordered yet. Sorry, you're getting a joke before a menu.

Ever since I got my Meta Ray-Ban glasses, most of my content is filmed POV-style — so when you watch my videos, it feels like you're right there at the bar with me. Like a FaceTime from your funniest friend. (That's me. I'm the funniest friend.)

What started as me annoying my coworkers turned into 5.7 million views and counting. The internet decided I was funny, and honestly, who am I to argue? My content is family-friendly, authentic, and built to make you laugh, share, and come back for more.

I also do comedy at Liquid Laughs Underground — the comedy cellar downstairs. Because apparently working two venues and making content wasn't enough — I needed more people to groan at my jokes in person.

The POV Experience

Most content filmed through Meta Ray-Ban glasses. You see what I see. First-person dad joke delivery.

Dad First, Creator Second

My son Leo sometimes makes cameos. The ABCs moment during a joke? That's the real content right there.

Joke Series

It started with one elephant joke told to my coworker Iain. Then Hannah got it. Then Ryan. Then Ambrosia. Each one became a "victim" — same joke, completely different reaction. The internet couldn't get enough.

The Cast

Every great show needs great characters. These are the people who make DJD what it is — the reactions, the groans, the "not again, Dawayne" looks.

H

Hannah

Bartender at Solid

The fan favorite. Her reactions are legendary. The audience can't get enough of her eye rolls and reluctant laughs. She's the straight man to my chaos.

L

Leo

My Son

The wholesome moments. Park videos, the ABCs interruption during a joke — Leo is the heart of the brand. Dad jokes hit different when you're actually a dad.

The Crew

Coworkers & Guests

Iain, Ryan, Ambrosia, and every unsuspecting guest who sits at the bar. They don't know it yet, but they're about to be in a video. Nobody is safe.

Where It Happens

The Venues

All three spots are in downtown Boise. Come for the food, stay for the jokes. Or come for the jokes and accidentally order food. Either way, you win.
