David O'Doherty

Presented by Sydney Comedy Festival and 3 Of A Kind Productions

2008 Edinburgh Comedy Award Winner

2010 Hot Press Magazine Irish Comedian
of the Year

Originally this was going to be a really stupid show, but over the year a few things happened. I realised quite a few friends are really struggling in the crappy Irish recession. I also got punched in the face by someone for the second time in a year for no reason whatsoever. So I’ve decided to try and talk about these things. It will still be mostly stupid jokes, and songs played on a tiny keyboard, but also some things I think are quite important.

In the past year I have been touring Ireland and the UK, Montreal, Melbourne and did my first solo shows in LA and New York and have performed with artists such as Flight of the Conchords and The Horne Section. I am delighted to return to Sydney to present my latest show.
