We think all our Giggling Guiri comedy shows are great. The reason we have confidence in how we pitch them is we go to every show we programme at festivals throughout the year in the UK & Ireland. We book acts that demonstrate that they can command a room for at least an hour and have their audience in tears. Now and again we find an act we love, can book and bring to Barcelona and Madrid.David O'Doherty’s ‘Let’s Comedy’ is undoubtedly upon us not just because he is the winner of the Edinburgh Fringe Best Show award in 2008. Since he was last with us in 2006, in a wonderful doubleheader with Neil Delamere, David has just got better and better with every show. O' Doherty has become the master of whimsical comedy, the GGHQ favourite and we have been relentlessly pursuing him for the last 2 years. There are over 800 comedy shows in Edinburgh, ‘Let’s Comedy’ was the one that came to the top and there was not a murmur of argument.
We expect a big crowd for the DOD, as he is affectionately known, so the recommendation is to get tickets early in both cities, Madrid and Barcelona.
“Can there be anything more evil than someone trying their damndest to give musical comedy a good name? Dublin's David O'Doherty not only attempts this malevolent feat, but succeeds to the point of very nearly elevating this stand-up subgenre to true art.” - The Scotsman
