About
After a sold out world tour, comedian and author David Nihill is back with his brand new show, Taking Tangents, which promises to do exactly that.
Leaving Dublin, Ireland, where he was born and raised until the age of 22, David got drunk on travel and never quite hit sobriety of it. He has lived and worked in twelve countries and visited over eighty. His shows draw on his wide travels, cultural observations, attempts at language study, (occasional) international drinking session(s) and being a mildly confused immigrant.
Highlights include:
- Winner of the prestigious annual San Francisco Comedy Competition (previous finalists include Robin Williams, Ellen DeGeneres and Dana Carvey).
- Runner-up in the Moth's largest US Grandslam storytelling competition.
- Recorded his debut special Documented for Dry Bar Comedy in 2019, his follow up Cultural Appreciation in 202, and his award winning show Shelf Help in 2025.
- Featured on TED.com, Sirius XM, Just For Laughs, Netflix is a Joke Festival, RTE's Late Late Show, The Irish Independent, Inc, NPR, and the Huffington Post.
- A festival favorite whose videos have gone viral many times over with over 800 million views and a social following of over 2 million people.
