David Kay
David Kay is an exceptional comic. Nowhere in the country, will you find anyone with such a slow, quirky, unorthodox style, or with such a unique blend of extraordinary observations and ultra-ordinary solutions.

David is one of the most original, imaginative, surreal and - most importantly - downright funny comics currently performing in Scotland. The self-proclaimed (and ironically monikered) 'Fireball' of Scottish comedy can demand immediate attention and concentration from the audience by walking on stage and doing no more than announcing 'Hello Fans'.

David's TV and Radio appearances include Welcome to Strathmuir an Absolutely Production for BBC2 Scotland, BBC 1's Live Floor Show, Fags, Bags and Mags (Radio 4) and North by North North, a Sony Award nominated sketch show for Radio Scotland.

David is no stranger to the Edinburgh Fringe and after a critically acclaimed debut solo Fringe Show in 2002, David Kay : Some Like a Scone, he followed it up with David Kay : Fireball. David has also performed a sell-out solo show at the Glasgow International Comedy Festival.

David has since moved up a gear from cult performer to fully-fledged phenomenon on the comedy scene. With two tours of the Scottish Highlands as part of The Best of Scottish Comedy show and The Stand Comedy Club Highland Tour as well as appearing at the Kilkenny Comedy Festival in Ireland, his act has gone from strength to strength as it reaches the parts that most comedians fear to tread.

David is a regular on the live stand up circuit, headlining and compering throughout Scotland and beyond. He is also a talented comedy writer and in 2000 he co-wrote Down the Road with Jack Valentine with Raymond Weir for BBC Radio Scotland.

Bizarre but accessible, slow-paced but quick-thinking, David Kay is one of the most unique - and certainly most hilarious - acts on the circuit today.
