David Kay is an exceptional comic. Nowhere in the country, will you find anyone with such slow, quirky, unorthodox style, and such a unique blend of extra-ordinary 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 recently starred in a sitcom pilot 'Welcome to Strathmuir' for BBC2 Scotland which received rave reviews. In 2006 David performed in 'North by North North' a 4 part 30 minute radio sketch show for Radio Scotland. 2006 also saw David perform a sell out one hour solo show at the Glasgow Comedy Festival. The show was filmed and David is currently editing and producing a DVD of the show.

In 2005 David took his laid-back style to the highly respected Kilkenny Comedy Festival in Ireland. Kilkenny is one of world's best comedy festivals and David’s comedy went down a storm.

David is no stranger to the Edinburgh festival and after a critically acclaimed debut solo Fringe Show at the 2002 Edinburgh Festival , “David Kay : Some Like a Sonce” which was followed up in 2003 with “David Kay : Fireball”.

David as a result as since moved up a gear from cult performer to fully-fledged phenomenon on the comedy scene. With two appearances on BBC1's Live Floor Show and two tours of the Scottish Highlands as part of The Best of Scottish Comedy show and The Stand Comedy Club Highland Tour , 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, which was broadcast on BBC Radio Scotland. He is currently involved in a number of TV and radio development projects.

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.

2007 looks like being another scorching hot year for the "Fireball".
