The Edinburgh Interviews 2017: David Trent

David Trent's comedy is multimedia-based, with the comic coming armed with projectors, PowerPoints and video clips. Trent is loud and uncompromising, with a hint of chaos about him - a perfect contrast to the pre-planned nature of his video material. He will be performing his latest show at Just the Tonic at The Caves throughout August.

Becca Moody, Moody Comedy, 8th July 2017

A change of tone here, for a short that shelves the cynicism and actually celebrates the spirit of Christmas. Nish Kumar plays an actor who became insufferable last Christmas when he landed the part in a Hollywood film, alienating his friends (Ed Gamble, Tom Neenan and Massive Dad Tessa Coates) at their annual get-together. Twelve months later and he's been kicked off the film - revealed in a bruising meeting with his agent, played by Aisling Bea - and wonders if he can face them again. The pay-off, courtesy of Santa David Trent, might a little corny, but that' Christmas for you...
