Whelan's 20th Anniversary Concerts present
DAVID O'DOHERTY: David O'Doh-party
Winner 2008 if.comedy Award at the Edinburgh Festival Fringe
Whelan's, 25 Wexford St
November 13th, 14th & 15th – Doors 8pm
November 14th matinee - Doors 3pm
Whelan's are proud to present comedian DAVID O'DOHERTY for three nights & one day starting on Friday the 13th (of November) as part of their 20th anniversary celebrations. After selling out Whelan's twice in the space of a month earlier this year he is returning with more of his tiny keyboard based comedy. For his younger fans there will also be a special matinee performance on Saturday 14th November at 3pm.
Tickets for all shows are available from Tickets.ie, Ticketmaster outlets nationwide and WAV box office [Lo-call 1890 200 078].
David O'Doherty, the Ryanair James Bond, the 1990 East Leinster under 14 triple jump bronze medallist is coming home. There will be standing up, there will be sitting down, there will be a song where he tries to seduce the entire audience.
The songs will most likely be played on small pianos from the mid-eighties, which he chooses for their versatility and range, and also the fact that they fit into a sports bag so you don't have to pay excess on flights.
He's very bad at describing his comedy. The best way to sum it up is that it's kind of like when you're going down a flight of stairs in the dark, and you think there are two steps left, but there only turns out to be one. Well it's like that for a whole evening.
There will be support. There will be lighting changes. There will be excellent pre-show music.
David O'Doherty: Biography.
In receiving the 2008 if.com Award at the Edinburgh Fringe, David O'Doherty joins a list of former winners that includes Stephen Fry, Steve Coogan, Dylan Moran and Daniel Kitson.
David did his first gig in 1998 at the age of 22. Before that he had many jobs, including telemarketing, childcare and cleaning the floors in a German supermarket distributor. In 1999 he won the Channel 4 So You Think You're Funny competition for newcomers at the Edinburgh Festival Fringe.
He has returned to Edinburgh every year since with a new hour of stand up comedy, receiving a Perrier Newcomer nomination in 2000, an if.com nomination in 2006 and winning the main if.com Award for best show in 2008.
He has written a children's book and two plays, one for grown ups and one for adults. The adults one was called Saddled and is the only piece of theatre ever to feature live repair of audience member's bicycles.
He has toured his stand up extensively, performing across the UK and Ireland, America, Canada, Australia and in Iceland.
He has recently written a book of made-up panda facts called 100 Facts About Pandas with his friends Mike Ahern and Claudia O'Doherty which will be published by Random House in October 09.
