David Eagle
David Eagle was crowned new comedian of the year in 2019 by Nottingham Comedy Festival, Bath Comedy festival and Leicester square Theatre. He's made multiple appearances on BBC Radio 4's flagship comedy The Now Show. David is blind and his stand-up often explores how this leads him into many surprising, hilarious encounters and misadventures. Armed with an accordion, he punctuates the jokes and stories with the occasional comedy song, one of which was described in the Guardian as "a comic tour de force."
