Full Description
After a sold out world tour comedian and author David Nihill is back with his brand new show, Taking Tangents which promises to do exactly that. Leaving Dublin, Ireland where he was born and raised until the age of 22, David got drunk on travel and never quite hit sobriety of it. He has lived and worked in twelve countries and visited over eighty. His shows draw on his wide travels, cultural observations, attempts at language study, (occasional) international drinking session(s) and being a mildly confused immigrant. David is the winner of the prestigious annual San Francisco Comedy Competition, (previous finalists include Robin Williams, Ellen DeGeneres and Dana Carvey) and runner-up in the Moth’s largest US Grandslam storytelling competition. Also a bestselling writer, David recorded his debut special Documented for Dry Bar Comedy in 2019, his follow up Cultural Appreciation in 202, and his award winning show Shelf Help in 2025.Other Events
Perfect Liars Club
at DC Improv Comedy ClubFour storytellers. Four stories. Three are true. One is a lie. Can you spot the liar? Welcome to Perfect Liars Club—a night of hilarious storytelling, bold lies, and audience sleuthing. At each show, four people take the stage to tell wildly entertaining, hard-to-believe stories. Three are true. One is complete fiction. When the storytelling ends, the interrogation begins: the audience cross-examines the performers, pokes holes in their logic, and hunts for clues. Everyone votes for who they think the liar is—and then braces for the shocking reveal. Since 2013, Perfect Liars Club has outwitted DC audiences, confounded skeptics, exposed overconfidence, and gleefully fooled the city’s know-it-alls. It’s smart, funny, and trickier than it sounds. You’ll leave entertained, suspicious, and probably a little bit humbled. Think you can spot the liar? Come prove it. Bragging rights are on the line.
