David Nihill: Cultural Appreciation | FULL COMEDY SPECIAL

Комедия

Wee Disclaimer: I don’t write jokes, being dyslexic I don’t write much of anything. Just a key word, memory or idea and what comes out subsequently is a collection of analogies, trivia, history, stories, and facts that takes form through time spent speaking with people. For me this can be comedy. For you it might not, and that’s ok. Everyone finds comedy and truth in different things so if you don’t like it, like the last episodes of Game of Thrones let’s pretend it never happened. If you do please comment, like and share! If you make it to the end you’ll get a few surprises.
I made and funded this myself so I most definitely need your help and support if you think it might bring a few smiles and a wee bit of happiness please do share with a friend in need and I can keep it available for free. If you want to contribute you certainly can:

If I got lucky and managed to get this on Netflix the reality is it has less potential to reach a wider audience so if it’s worthy of doing so, I put it in you the viewers hands to make it so. Thanks a million for your support. It’s hugely appreciated 🙌. I'm on tour in the next few months so please come see a live show with all new thoughts and stories.

    Saw David last night at the Vermont Comedy Club. Now I understand what it means when the Irish have a “Gift of the Gab”. He went on non-stop for over an hour then took questions afterwards. His stories were hilarious and almost unbelievable. But at the end of his skit he brought pictures as proof. My wife and I had ringside seats and neither of us remember ever laughing so hard. I believe he sells himself short. Ticket prices were cheap!

Irish are dope. I can't wait to visit and get talked into staying, one of these days.

    @@zoemiller9716 I can only speak to my personal experience. I shan't demonize an entire nation based on someone else's. That said, racism is an historical global phenomenon from which no country is exempt. That includes Ireland and my home nation of the United States. Let me clarify, in the two weeks during my visit to Ireland I was welcomed and treated well. I know people (live near them, have worked with them, been taught by them) who have treated me with respect but who I know embrace racist ideology and uphold racialized institutional structures. These dynamics are not mutually exclusive and coexist in human beings.

    My great grandfather was orphaned in Ireland when his parents died in a factory fire. He stowed away on a boat and became the cabin boy, sailed around the world several times, ended up in San Francisco. We would hear stories of him and his adventures growing up. I still have his sitting chair. We're very proud of our Irish ancestry and David here shows why; humor, wit, thoughtfulness, a bit of self depreciation and a lot of love. Thanks man, I found you on TikTok first, glad to see you hear, haven't laughed this long in forever. I'll be checking to see when you come to Seattle again.

    True & kinda true. He's in Utah, one of the most, if not thee most, Conservative state/s. LDS are very Conservative. Utahns are 1/2 devout LDS, 1/2 live by that LDS subculture. I'm from NY & moved to Utah abt 10 yrs ago. I went from hardcore Leftie to hardcore Right, brainwashed nutty kookoo ppl to factual, logical, common sense, informed ppl. If a Right-wing comedian is going anywhere, it's Utah, Wyoming, Montana or Idaho. All US cities are Leftie, but there's degrees of it. The South is considered very Republican/Conservative, not so much the cities. They're extremely Leftie. I've been down South many times. Salt Lake City is considered very Leftie to Utahns. To me, it's barely Leftie. Same with Billings, Boise & Cheyenne. In NY, I'm from Buffalo/Niagara Falls & Staten Island. I've been to Toronto many times & used to watch CBC living in WNY. You probably know abt my burb town in WNY. 💕

    I was raised in Hayward California. 1/3 of my elementary school was African American. I always hated racism. I never wanted to identify as any particular race because racism turned me off to any kind of nationalist identity. Some years ago, I found out that my ancestors came from scotts-Irish area of Ireland. You today are the first person who made me feel proud to associate what your value system of what it means to be Irish in that its about inclusion, acceptance, welcoming, celebrating and appreciating all people which I believe can be included in all cultures because we are all human. I have always identified as human not separate from others. Your melting pot VS Charcuterie board metaphor is brilliant ( we don't separate, we live together.) In America the government through the housing administration separated us geographically and economically by law then tried to blame people's individual preferences ( de facto vs dejur) for the differences. Thank you for bringing us together and showing me that these values are something that my ancestors employed/ walked the talk. When you said Irish people chose to pick their own potatoes, when my mind comprehended it, touched me deeply because that was what it was all about wasnt it? Lazy fecking( new word for me) people who used violence to force others to do their dirty work while they got rich and slovenly. I never wanted to be in a position where I was using others to my advantage and their disadvantage. Mutual benefit has always been a high value in my life. If someone promoted racism or belittled people in an effort to make themselves look better I got the F away from them, in business and relationships. Thank you for awakening me to feeling some positive association to having Irish in my background. ❤
