David O'Doherty

Star of Never Mind The Buzzcocks and 8 Out Of 10 Cats, and winner of the 2008 Edinburgh Comedy Award, David O’Doherty’s humour fits into the slightly nerdish, misfit worldview increasingly adopted by a certain breed of comic; delicate, sweet and thought-provoking rather than aggressive and in-your face.

Here he comes, hitting the proverbial road with a bag containing a tiny keyboard, six C batteries (spare) and a book of actual sex tips he found in a dentist's waiting room.

Winner: 2008 Edinburgh Comedy Award (formerly The Perrier Award)
