David Nihill: Cultural Appreciation | FULL COMEDY SPECIAL

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:

I am in Australia and you are now my new FAVOURITE comedian. Thank you for the laughs.

[wdwerker]

I seriously hope David has a long career because I truly enjoy his take on life and twisted views of reality.

[NitenIchimusai]

Mexican here, we do have a word for sneaky, it is "escurridizo". The "escuadron de San Patricio" are still considered heroes here, and they are the reason we love Ireland and irish people, great show, definitely recommending it to friends both mexicans and americans.

[indivisible]

This guy could teach so many people, so much. Especially about how reality works

[mikehunt]

I am not making this up I am an Irish Mexican Mormon Catholic from Utah with a red and black-beard we need to make a “cultural appreciation, ”the new it term of 2025.😊

[LiterallyCensoredDaily]

As a white American stoner mountain biker with a liking for tacos, lowriders, and funk music, and Irish heritage in my bloodline, I can definitely say this guy is feckin' awesome!

[dr.j]

In only 9 minutes this guy made me want to go to Ireland.

[dannie]

This just made my day, as an Black Irish girl growing up in Boston, listening to you, reminds me of the comedic flare from my Irish and Irish American friends. Brilliant humor and delivery. Can't wait for you to come to Boston. Will be in the front row when you do.

[carolinamurtha]

I’m Colombian, husband is mostly Irish, our son is our Green Bean who has a British name and a very Latino face. Everything about this was so much fun to watch 😂.

[thegravellesstraveled]

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!

[lrajic]

I used to work at a place where my coworker was an American of Japanese heritage. His surname was Omata. Somebody misspelled his name “O’Mata.” He got a kick out of it. Every St. Patrick’s Day, he proudly wore a graphic button “Kiss me I’m Irish!” He was a hoot. I miss him.

[ClarkyClark]

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.

[EzraELL]

How the heck he managed to put everything into relatable stories... Is beyond me.. he's one brilliant Irishman👍🏻👍🏻👍🏻

[dougimmel]

Why is it that this guy is smarter faster funnier better and more understanding than any politician we can come up with in the USA in 50 years and he's not even a natural born citizen so he can't be president but we need him desperately. I never laughed so hard.

[michaelstringfellow]

Absolutely incredible special. I spent the last 4 months in Ireland as an American. It made me realize how backwards and crazy our country is. Youre hilarious man, keep going 💪🏽

[nu_well]

I highly enjoy the way you mix historical facts and humour, it's just comedy gold. Long live intellectual humour!

[Redsince]

As an Irish exPat living in the US for over 40 years to me he hit it out of the park. He’s a wonderful story teller with amazing perception and razor sharp wit. Haven’t laughed this much in ages. Most of my friends here are Latino and I’ve already shared his video with some of them. I’ve always said that if you shake any family tree an Irish man or woman will fall out of it.

[Soaring_Griffin]

Absolute gold. David really knows how to integrate comedy, pauses, and non-verbal communication into a masterfully crafted show. Couldn't stop laughing.

[GinaGreenlee]

I've been to Ireland, 22 years ago. I've traveled to a lot of countries and I can say unequivocally, that Ireland was spectacularly friendly and welcoming. I was actually overwhelmed by how warm and gracious the welcome was. The next two friendliest: New Zealand and Vietnam.
