DAVID McSavage is a self-proclaimed national treasure.
His intention for this new show which he has yet to write is for you the audience member to feel: “Wow, that was one of the funniest things I’ve ever seen, it was so original, courageous, and yet very flawed. I would really like to be his friend.”
A regular guest on TV and radio shows in Ireland for many years, David has also appeared at all the major comedy festivals including the Edinburgh Festival and internationally in Australia, Germany, Japan and Scandinavia.
He is known for street performance on streets in Dublin city centre. His routine consists of improvised songs about the lives of those passing by. As an actor, he also features in the film ‘Calvary’.
His other recent film roles in ‘Traders’, ‘Gold and Our Robot Overlords’. In 2008, McSavage devised and featured in Headwreckers, an episode of Channel 4’s Comedy Lab show.
In 2009, he created his own show on RTÉ Two called The Savage Eye, which has been critically acclaimed and was nominated for an IFTA award for Best Entertainment Series.
David McSavage: National Treasure is at The Olympia Theatre on Friday, February 8 2019.
