David Eagle
With David being blind, his comedy often explores how his disability means the most ordinary, commonplace events are turned into surreal and convoluted dramas. Occasionally he dons his accordion (often as a spiteful repost to hecklers) and performs one of his comedy songs, such as his George Formby parody, described by the Guardian as “a comic tour de force.”
Having previously conquered the world of folk music, enjoying all of the trappings that come with it – the money, the glamour and the women, David branched out into stand up. In 2019 he was crowned New Comedian of The Year by Leicester Square Theatre and won new act competitions at Bath and Nottingham Comedy Festivals.
He has been nominated Best Newcomer at the Chortle Awards and David now graces many a stage on the professional comedy circuit. He is tipped for the top.
