I would like to make my first post all about one of my new favourite comedians and human beings, David O'Doherty. So I am. Whilst bingeing on episodes of 8 Out of 10 Cats Does Countdown the other day, which I must add is another new favourite show of mine (I didn't really give it the time of day before, dunno why), I 'discovered' the DO'D. I don't know whether it was the charm of his dublin accent or his face that makes me want to grab both cheeks or the fact he is VERY FUNNY, but it was a kind of love at first sight. In a non-lovey way.
I began to search high and low on youtube for more of keyboard kreations, with personal highlights of my search including 'I've Got Short Legs' and 'The Grand Designs song'.
'I've Got Quite Short Legs' by David O'Doherty.
A particular gem which I chanced upon was his RTE (Irish national telly and radio) one series tv series. 'The Modest Adventures of David O'Doherty' is a simple concept but shows you how your everyday life can be fun, if you try to make it fun . It is marvellous, and will make you smile if you are feeling like a miserable git and need a warm hug from your screen. It follows David in 2007, as he tries new things and schemes all whilst working his way up the ladder as a now world renowned comedian. The episodes I liked especially were episodes 1 and 5, where David cycles across the country and makes a short film on how Sir Ernest Shackleton keeps coming a cropper due to penguins, respectively.
Although he will probably never read this, I would like to thank David for his existence and showing that if you actually act on your ideas and dreams it can lead to big things. I hope you enjoyed this post and insight into the DO'D, go check out his stuff if you want a big smile across your face.
Chau for now.
