BBC comedy star and blind comedian David Eagle is one of the funniest and most in-demand acts on the comedy circuit.
With David being blind his comedy often explores how his disability means the most ordinary, commonplace events are turned into surreal and convoluted dramas. Occasionally he dons his accordion (often as a spiteful repost to hecklers) and performs one of his comedy songs described by the Guardian as “a comic tour de force.“
As well as being an officially funny stand-up comedian, David is a member of three-time BBC Radio 2 Folk Award winning band The Young’uns.
Having previously conquered the world of folk music, enjoying all of the trappings that come with it – the money, the glamour, the women – David branched out into stand up. He was crowned New Comedian Of The Year by Leicester Square Theatre in 2019 a year which also saw him win new act competitions at Bath Comedy Festival and Nottingham Comedy Festival, and has been nominated Best Newcomer at the Chortle Awards.
“Brilliant, Nuts. Heartily recommend” Rufus Hound.

“Just seen the future of stand up comedy and his name is David Eagle.” (Boothby Graffoe)
