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 topped 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 has recorded a pilot for Radio 4 and has also toured Canada as part of the Just For Laughs Comedy Tour.  In 2009 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 2009 he returned to the Edinburgh Fringe with an all-new hit show, David O’Doh-Party which was a huge hit with audiences and critics alike.  In October 2009, David embarked on his second tour of the UK and will subsequently perform in Australia and Edinburgh again.

His brand new book, entitled 100 Facts About Pandas is available to buy now, along with his brand new live CD entitled Let’s David O’Doherty.  He recently guested on Never Mind the Buzzcocks and 8 Out of 10 Cats.
