David Nihill: Taking Tangents

Comedian and author David Nihill returns after a sold-out world tour with his new show Taking Tangents. Born in Dublin to age 22, he left Ireland drunk on travel and never achieved sobriety. He has lived and worked across twelve countries and visited over eighty destinations. His performances draw from wide travels, cultural observations, attempts at language study, occasional international drinking sessions, and the experience of being a mildly confused immigrant. David won the prestigious San Francisco Comedy Competition and was runner-up in Moths largest US Grandslam storytelling competition. A bestselling writer, he recorded Documented for Dry Bar Comedy in 2019, Cultural Appreciation in 2022, and his award-winning show Shelf Help in 2025. He has been featured on TED.com, Sirius XM, Just For Laughs, Netflix is a Joke Festival, RTEs Late Late Show, The Irish Independent, Inc, NPR, the Huffington Post, and more.
