In 2008, David O' Doherty won the top prize at the if.comedy awards at the Edinburgh Fringe Festival for his show Let's Comedy.  Nica Burns, director of the awards, describes David's work as "utterly delightful" and says his show "fills the world with laughter and charm and sends you home on a wave of happiness." The award tops off an extremely busy and successful festival for David as he performed in three shows every day for the month.  His children's show, I Can't Sleep received rave reviews and delighted young audiences and he also performed nightly at The Honourable Men of Art at The Stand.  David recently recorded a pilot for Radio 4 and has also completed his tour of Canada as part of the Just For Laughs Comedy Tour.

This year he completed his first tour of the UK with It’s David O’Doherty Time and performed across Australia , including returning to the Melbourne Comedy Festival.  In August he will return to the Edinburgh Fringe Festival with a brand new show, entitled David O’Doh-Party.
