Review: David O'Doherty at Latitude 2016

David O'Doherty's been starting his tour dates - Latitude included - by faux-boasting how this time next year, he'll be huge. Blowing off gigs like this to perform to tens of thousands, and act like a bigger prick than Kanye. All very ironic, of course, a comic set-up before he acknowledges the niche appeal of a bearded middle-aged Irishman playing a tiny keyboard.

Sydney Comedy Festival review: David O'Doherty

O'Doherty describes himself as the "Aldi Enya", and he has much in common with the discount supermarket chain. On stage, he's modest, with a surprisingly random mix of goods and ultimately very good value, all up.

Review: David O'Doherty

He always used to bill himself as "very low-energy musical whimsy", but David O'Doherty's latest show is pretty energetic, only very sparingly deploys the 1986 Casio keyboard that's become his trademark, and contains more bite than you'd expect.

Review: David O'Doherty, Leicester Comedy Festival

Armed with a Casio keyboard from 1986 and a deadpan delivery, our host told a story equal in its self-loathing as in its affection.
