Comedy

A night of comedy, storytelling and reading recommendations with Irish comedian David Nihill.  After selling out last time David Nihill is back in Santa Cruz with his new show, Shelf Help. Leaving Dublin, Ireland where he was born and raised until the age of 22, David got drunk on travel and never quite hit sobriety of it. He has lived and worked in twelve countries and visited over seventy. His shows draw on his wide travels, cultural observations, attempts at language study, (occasional) international drinking session(s) and being a mildly confused immigrant.  David is the winner of the prestigious annual San Francisco Comedy Competition, and runner up in the Moth’s largest US Grand Slam storytelling competition. Also, a bestselling writer, David recorded his debut special for Dry Bar Comedy in 2019 and has been featured on TED.com, Sirius XM, The Irish Independent, Inc, NPR, and the Huffington Post among others. A festival favorite, David’s videos have also gone viral many times with over 400 million views and a social following of over 1.5 million people.
