David
is one of the country’s most successful post-alternative comedians
and is responsible for some of the most memorable and groundbreaking
comedy achievements of the last decade. In 1992, he performed to 12,500
people with Rob Newman in the UK’s first ever arena comedy show
and was credited as turning comedy into “The New Rock’n’Roll” long
before arena comedy gigs became commonplace.
He created and hosted the phenomenally successful Fantasy Football League (BBC2) with Frank Skinner, which hit the headlines with its transfer to ITV. The show led to David co-writing the double platinum smash hit song, Three Lions for the England football team which went to Number One twice in 1996 and 1998.
