Following the phenomenal success of his world tour, comic David O’Doherty returns to Derry’s Millennium Forum for one night only of Saturday 18 January next.
David O’Doherty.
Having toured the world last year with the “saddest stand-up comedy show in the history of entertainment” – it was about crippling depression that ended with the murder of a mouse – O’Doherty unleashes the next episode – David O’Doherty Will Try To Fix Everything.
He said: “I’ll be honest, I did a gig in New York in October with Demetri Martin, and I was doing this overwrought stuff about being so sad that one night I cried because Pluto wasn’t a planet anymore, and then he came on and did a bunch of his perfectly crafted jokes, and I thought, I’d really like my next show to be more like that.
“So that is what I set out to do. Unfortunately, life has a habit of getting in the way of your attempt to write proper jokes, and that is what has happened, but that’s where this show started off.”
O’Doherty was one of the first Irish comedians to have his own Comedy Central Special air in America.
He has extensively toured Britain, Ireland, America and Australia and is currently writing a children’s book.
Tickets for David O Doherty Will Try To Fix Everything are now available from the Millennium Forum Box Office, telephone 028 71264455 or visit www.millenniumforum.co.uk for bookings.
