August 10, 2025 by Andrew Girdwood Leave a Comment

David O’Doherty’s “Highway to the David Zone” is a delightful and more mature show, packed with his signature wit and charm, and is highly recommended for all Fringe-goers.

A review of David O’Doherty: Tiny Piano Man, Fringe 2023

Fantastic, sell-out comedy and song reflecting the twists and turns of a relatable and yet very different life to our own. Get a ticket if you can.

A review of David O’Doherty: You Have to Laugh, Fringe 2018

August 14, 2018 by Andrew Girdwood Leave a Comment

Riotous. I rate David O’Doherty high in my list of favourite comedians and “You Have to Laugh” is my favourite encounter with him and his crappy keyboard yet.

It was a dark and stormy night… David O’Doherty had flown into Edinburgh that morning to kick off his latest show – in the biggest venue I’ve seen him in for the festival – and he had the crowd as soon as he stepped out onto the stage. I think we’d spent the 15 minutes […]

Review of David O’Doherty: David O’Doherty Will Try to Fix Everything, Fringe 2013

August 22, 2013 by Andrew Girdwood 1 Comment

Pleasance One was full for David O’Doherty, very full, and a glance at the Fringe booking site tells me that the next couple of days are all sold out. There’s no doubt that David O’Doherty is now very popular. How strange it is to hear the Irish comedian reminisce over early hecklers and a time […]
