Illusionist & Entertainer, David Kovac
Upon earning his fine arts degree in Acting from The Theatre School of DePaul University, David Kovac appeared in professional regional stage productions, winning critical acclaim for his portrayal of Applegate the Devil in the hit musical Damn Yankees! He also honed his unique skills as a comedic juggler, performing in well- known Chicago venues including Improv Olympic, Millenium Park, and even the historic Green Mill Jazz Club.
Mr. Kovac’s distinctive voice and likeness have been featured in numerous television and radio commercials, landing a Silver Microphone Award for his GMAC Real Estate campaign. His sharp improvisational skills serve him well in the role of corporate spokesperson for major technology companies, hosting large-scale national events such as Consumer Electronics Expo, Cisco Live and National Association of Broadcasters.
David Kovac has established himself as a beloved comedic entertainer and magical storyteller, with three solo performance pieces to his credit – Catching Fire, Amusing Grace, and Fooling Buddha – An Evening of Myth, Mystery & Infinite Jest! The Chicago Tribune crowned him a “Trickster Hero,” and professional travels have since included voyages to Australia, New Zealand, South America, Western Europe, Japan and Southeast Asia.
He currently resides in Los Angeles and has become a popular performer at Hollywood’s famed Magic Castle, where he now serves on the Board of Trustees. David Kovac is presently nominated for Stage Performer of the Year by The Academy of Magical Arts, for the third consecutive year.
