David O’Doherty

The Casio keyboard remains but this year the mild-mannered Dublin comic returns with less song and more chat. And also more book reading, mainly from his recent publication 100 Facts About Pandas. Bung in a kaleidoscopic range of observational indie knick-knacks, wound up with an impressionable series of hoots, arm-flailing and floor-rolls, and we have a good, honest, O’Doherty set. To his braying followers this is all spot-on and a touch of improv mid-ditty illustrates that this is a reciprocal love.
