In 2020, fans everywhere were introduced to Dave (2020-), and the comedy satirizing the music industry has since earned itself two more seasons, with Season 3 now hitting screens. As fans of the hit series already know, the show follows the unusual story of the titular Dave Burd, though he regularly goes by his rapping pseudonym, Lil Dicky (a name he picked due to his less-than-impressive endowment). Though his budding musical career got off to a bit of a rough start, primarily due to Dave's crippling self-confidence issues, the show follows how Lil Dicky beats all the imposter syndrome and negative thoughts to become one of the biggest and most beloved rappers in the world.
For Season 3, Dave hits the road for a tour across the U.S., but it looks like he has other reasons for wanting to travel the country. Dubbing his next excursion the "Looking For Love Tour", Dave looks set to end his long stint as a bachelor and find his soulmate. To find out if he will succeed, you'll just have to tune into the show and find out for yourself. And in case you're looking for exactly how to watch Dave Season 3 and where it's available, here is a complete guide. But first, here's the official plot synopsis for Dave Season 3:
Dave is headlining his first-ever tour and looking for love along the way. But as he and the gang crisscross America, they discover firsthand how diverse the cultural landscape of the United States really is – and how often fame puts pressure on love and friendship. The half-hour comedy is based on the life of rapper and comedian Dave Burd. The series is produced by FX Productions.

Watch the Dave Season 3 Trailer
The trailer for Dave Season 3 shows that things are going pretty good for Lil Dicky career-wise, still working on honing his craft and developing new beats and lyrics. Even more exciting is that Dave is going on his very first country-wide tour, hoping to find a romantic partner in the process. We also see that Dave gets to go to some pretty crazy events and places, most notably the infamously exclusive Met Gala (while wearing an absurd outfit, fitting for the Gala). We also get brief glimpses at the guest stars of the season, both of whom are coincidentally Marvel alumni, with Chloe Bennet (Agents of S.H.I.E.L.D.) and Don Cheadle (Iron Man 2).

More FX Comedies on Hulu That You Can Watch Right Now
Hulu has a whole lot of award-winning FX comedies in their catalog, and here are just a few options to consider if you're looking for more funny material from the prolific network.
Wilfred (2011-2014)
One of the more surreal and existential shows from FX's catalog (while also being one of the funniest) is Wilfred, starring Elijah Wood and Jason Gann. Wood stars as a depressed man whose mental anguish manifests itself in a unique and unusual way. His canine companion Wilfred (Jason Gann) now appears to him as an Australian man in a dog costume, with the foul-mouthed animal causing plenty of strange scenarios for them both. All four seasons of Wilfred are available to stream on Hulu.
It's Always Sunny in Philadelphia (2005-)
With so many seasons already under its belt, you can accurately guess that It's Always Sunny in Philadelphia is one of the funniest shows on television. Now sixteen seasons in and still counting, the ridiculous exploits of the reprehensible Gang and their offensive adventures remain some of the funniest sequences in modern television. All seasons of It's Always Sunny in Philadelphia are available to stream on Hulu.
What We Do in the Shadows (2019-)
Based on the Taika Waititi and Jemaine Clement film of the same name, What We Do in the Shadows is a hysterically funny dark comedy that offers a unique twist on vampires. Framed as a documentary exploring the vampiric scene of New York, we get to see what three standard vampires, an energy vampire, their human assistant, and more get up to in this satirical version of some of fiction's most infamous creatures. All four seasons of What We Do in the Shadows are available to stream on Hulu.
