If I got lucky and managed to get this on Netflix the reality is it has less potential to reach a wider audience so if it’s worthy of doing so, I put it in you the viewers hands to make it so. Thanks a million for your support. It’s hugely appreciated 🙌. I'm on tour in the next few months so please come see a live show with all new thoughts and stories.

    Saw David last night at the Vermont Comedy Club. Now I understand what it means when the Irish have a “Gift of the Gab”. He went on non-stop for over an hour then took questions afterwards. His stories were hilarious and almost unbelievable. But at the end of his skit he brought pictures as proof. My wife and I had ringside seats and neither of us remember ever laughing so hard. I believe he sells himself short. Ticket prices were cheap!

    My great grandfather was orphaned in Ireland when his parents died in a factory fire. He stowed away on a boat and became the cabin boy, sailed around the world several times, ended up in San Francisco. We would hear stories of him and his adventures growing up. I still have his sitting chair. We're very proud of our Irish ancestry and David here shows why; humor, wit, thoughtfulness, a bit of self depreciation and a lot of love. Thanks man, I found you on TikTok first, glad to see you hear, haven't laughed this long in forever. I'll be checking to see when you come to Seattle again.

      @@zoemiller9716 I can only speak to my personal experience. I shan't demonize an entire nation based on someone else's. That said, racism is an historical global phenomenon from which no country is exempt. That includes Ireland and my home nation of the United States. Let me clarify, in the two weeks during my visit to Ireland I was welcomed and treated well. I know people (live near them, have worked with them, been taught by them) who have treated me with respect but who I know embrace racist ideology and uphold racialized institutional structures. These dynamics are not mutually exclusive and coexist in human beings.

      I'm from NY & moved to Utah abt 10 yrs ago. I went from hardcore Leftie to hardcore Right, brainwashed nutty kookoo ppl to factual, logical, common sense, informed ppl.
      If a Right-wing comedian is going anywhere, it's Utah, Wyoming, Montana or Idaho. All US cities are Leftie, but there's degrees of it.
      The South is considered very Republican/Conservative, not so much the cities. They're extremely Leftie. I've been down South many times.
      Salt Lake City is considered very Leftie to Utahns. To me, it's barely Leftie. Same with Billings, Boise & Cheyenne.
      In NY, I'm from Buffalo/Niagara Falls & Staten Island. I've been to Toronto many times & used to watch CBC living in WNY. You probably know abt my burb town in WNY. 💕

    By far one of the best stand up shows I’ve seen in the last decade, at least. Such great comedy was only topped off by your great humanity. I am not religious, but God bless the Irish especially you and your wonderful family. You did not only make me laugh out loud, but you touched my heart. Thank you David, I wish you nothing less than utmost success.
