David Eagle – Funny Folk
Since 2005, David Eagle has been a member of three-time BBC Radio 2 Folk Award winning band The Young'uns, well-known for their comedy, with the Guardian writing in their 5 star review: "a rampant humour which occasionally makes them appear more like standup comedians, mercilessly mocking one another and involving the audience at every turn ..."
"The Young’uns were bravely emotional but also very funny, thanks to the constant banter from Eagle ..."
In 2018, David started performing standup. He has been crowned New Comedian Of The Year by Leicester Square Theatre and won awards at Bath Comedy Festival, Nottingham Comedy Festival and Best Variety Show Award at The Leicester Comedy Festival with his previous show ‘Flying Solo’.
This brand new solo show will feature stand-up comedy, hilarious storytelling, folk and comedy songs. David will also bring his accordion along – mainly to be used as a spite repost to hecklers.

David is blind, and his comedy often explores how his disability means the most ordinary, commonplace events are turned into surreal and convoluted dramas. Occasionally he dons his accordion (often as a spiteful repost to hecklers) and performs one of his comedy songs, such as his George Formby parody, described by the Guardian as "a comic tour de force."
"Just seen the future of stand up comedy and his name is David Eagle."

"Constantly hilarious, gag on gag, leaving an audience gasping in admiration, and applause that goes on for minutes."
