“Shafar circumnavigates the line between edgy and offensive with beautiful finesse” ★★★★½ The Age

Okay, let’s get this straight before we go any further, David Eagle is a folk musician. Not just a folk musician but one good enough to make a living out of it. A bloody good folk musician. An accomplished folk musician.

The crazy, crazy bad ass world of folk has it’s downside though and when the cocaine and groupies got too much David bailed out and parachuted safely into stand up comedy. And, guess what? He’s a bloody good comic too. David has some class gags, routines and songs (well, if you already own an accordion you might as well do something with it.) and hardly even mentions folk music. Deliciously dark, quite twisted and devastatingly funny. Catch him soon.

“A comic tour de force” The Guardian “Instantly won over the full house” Evening Standard

Few are funnier than Comedy Store and Frog & Bucket veteran Mick Ferry! Whether he’s running with a scatterbrained idea, an audience suggestion or dipping into his extensive mental files of absolute, top drawer gags and routines, the end result is a barrage of laughter from a very happy audience and that is what we are all about.

“See him or regret it” John Bishop ★★★★★ Mirror “Absolute legend” Jason Manford
