David O'Doherty is not only one of the most unique and original comedians on the planet, he also just NAILS the delivery every time. He's the perfect blend of deadpan and stuttery awkwardness.
+Steve Holmgren He's been around for about 15 years though. One of the best comedians in Ireland. Sell out shows constantly. Hardly as if Conan has just found him.
I love how the whole song is in a minor key but at the end when he finally says “let’s have a nice time” he ends in the major key. I learned that from my keyboard I got from the David O’Doherty foundation! Please send food
Dsnipez18 Wouldn't give me the time of day when i asked him for a photo together before he did a charity gig in Dublin. Said he was 'in too much of a rush to get started'. Snooty bastard. I made it a surefire certainty that he wouldn't be in so much of a rush getting home afterwards though. A surefire certainty....
Kevb0ardGames Fun fact, I saw his show about 15 years ago and someone had recently set his bike on fire then too!! That poor bastard has no luck xD He is actually ''famous'' here (as famous as a comedian can be here)
Just ran into him in Oxford St, Sydney, after seeing him last night. Fantastic. He's a good guy and his subject matter is whimsical. He says so himself.
An American friend mentioned to me a couple of years ago that he actually knew who DOD was (to my surprise!). Turned out he'd seen DOD doing televised stand-up on some show aired on the Comedy Central TV channel over there a few times. :)
Jeff C with a bit of Bill Bailey thrown in. I've always thought of Chris O'Dowd, "Yeah, he's great and all, but could use a pinch more Bill Bailey." And here we are.
Jeff C I was watching this without my glasses at first and thought it was him because the accent and the voice and his face are very similar. But when I put my glasses on he didn't look that much like him, could be his uncle or something.
I am in a group of guys all of my age 16-19 who get together every week for no particular reason just to have a space to share our feelings and have people who have been in similar situations through adolescence. It is humbling to hear stories about people who have had a way harder time growing up and being able to draw comparisons from other people's stories and see how there experiences can rub off on you. A.K.A. Group therapy. But we are all normal guys. battledmg
he is just friggin awesome ! .. check out all his other clips .. he has such a unique brand of comedy where he fuses deadpan humour with songs and music . a great entertainer .. genuine talent .. natural comedian
As a french person, I thought he was really funny, and he made me laugh hard about the movie Amélie, which is one of my favorite movie ever. This guy is awesome, I hope he'll come to Paris !
no not just you amino ...this took all my problems away , I mean there back again minutes later but gone while he performed that life song haha killer funny
David O' Doherty is from Dublin. Dublin is in the Republic of Ireland. The Republic of Ireland is NOT a part of Great Britain, the United Kingdom or the Commonwealth. It is as the name suggests a REPUBLIC and has been for nearly 100 years. Sorry to go on a rant but after reading some of the comments here some people definitely needed a history lesson.

He's hilarious and a great pianist!!

Yea the non american stand ups conan has on are not unknown, just unknown in America.
I once went to a David O' Doherty show where he spent the opening 10 minutes drinking an audience member's Capri Sun... It was glorious
It is a great drink :)
"Oooh Dublin" kills me every time.
This guy is just aaawesome!
One of the best comedy bits on Conan ever.
Agreed!!!
charlie taylor
I've seen him at the Edinburgh festival twice and he is in fact aaaawwwsooooome.
+Mobaba Moba Check him out on his many appearences on "8 out 10 cats" or any other panel show that he frequents, here on youtube.

This was super original and funny! What a quirky sense of humor!
Siko Gun Haha, okay, drag queen!

I died at, "Wha...Wh-why, H-HOW do you set a BIKE on fire?" :-D LMAO
MuddleThrough4yrs A few hundred rioters
Ah ah ah Dublin~~
Bumped into this guy in real life in central London. Was really nice and welcoming when my friend and I asked for pictures
Dsnipez18 that's nice! :)

Raskolnikov32 Well maybe he was? Probably had a show to put on or something.
danbeacs a sureFIRE certainty.
One of my favourite videos on the internet!
That was hilarious! "That wasn't a metaphor, someone actually set my bike on fire!" LMAO!
I can HIGHLY recommend his albums. You can get them from Bandcamp and they are effing hilarious.
I don't know he had albums. Thanks for telling me where to get them too! I'll be sure to give them a listen. :)
One of the best standups i've seen in my life !!
Enjoyed that!!! Quite poetic at 3:30..."There's brilliant bits...." Nice job DD.
I guess this performance was one of the brilliant bits of life he was talking about
this was brilliant xD
Kevb0ardGames I liked it. It is different
Kevb0ardGames Fun fact, I saw his show about 15 years ago and someone had recently set his bike on fire then too!! That poor bastard has no luck xD He is actually ''famous'' here (as famous as a comedian can be here)
Brilliant! I loved every moment of it! 😂
He's so funny. I'm totally in love with him.
That was great! Well done CONAN for booking him!
I have watched a lot of things. This 5 minutes is among the best I've ever watched.
So brilliant!! So refreshing!!
Just ran into him in Oxford St, Sydney, after seeing him last night. Fantastic. He's a good guy and his subject matter is whimsical. He says so himself.
This guy is amazing! I'm so glad he was on Conan. Now I'm going to look up more stuff of his ;)
The "bike on fire"-bit was hilarious!
Been a fan since like 2010 now, he kills Edinburgh Festival every year.
This is the best comedy bit in the history of Conan's show. Simply superb !
Love him so much! So glad he finally got to be on a TV show in the US!
An American friend mentioned to me a couple of years ago that he actually knew who DOD was (to my surprise!).
Turned out he'd seen DOD doing televised stand-up on some show aired on the Comedy Central TV channel over there a few times. :)
David is the greatest man alive. He played in my town tonight but I didn't see him :(
This is what I'd like to call, Necessary Comedy!, among other superlatives.
I'm in, looking for more of this, it's The Good Stuff!
Thanks David!
Finally!
I watched it 4 times in a row and can't stop laughing!!! Precious
this is the epiphany of my life... i'm watching it for the fifth time already
This was like reading a page-length, run-on sentence, written by a drunk person with ADD, who is actually quite intelligent when sober and composed.
The word you were looking for was "Irish."
Robert Greene Nice!
LMFAO I guess this is is how I'll be describing this guy from now on then
Those two comments work together so brilliantly 😂
Never heard of him very glad I saw this awesome
"wh-why would you set...H-HOW do you even set a bike on fire?!" LOLOLOLOL
OMGGG it's the first time i've seen a stand-up with a keyboard! SO GOOD!!!!
He made me laugh so hard! Thanks David! :D
I'm glad there are lots of positive feedback here! :-)
he reminds me of Chris O'Dowd
Jeff C That's racist. You are a racist now.
Jeff C cuz Irish

Jeff C He has quite regularly made jokes about how people get them confused
2020, the song
The best standup on the show in the past few months
Life ain't that bad, Just... "Be excellent to each other. And party on dudes!"

somehow complaining about life makes life a little easier, or is it just me?

Hey it's Chris O'Dowd (an in-joke for David O'Doherty fans)
This guy is fucking awesome.
Love this guy
Absolutely love the DOD.
As a french person, I thought he was really funny, and he made me laugh hard about the movie Amélie, which is one of my favorite movie ever. This guy is awesome, I hope he'll come to Paris !

Best.song.ever.
So glad this finally arrived to a bigger audience. I listened to it on Pete Holmes' podcast many times over and I am happy more can hear it now!
this song is an epic
Loved the Amelie reference. This guy's good.

Also I enjoyed this immensely
This was awesome :)
Now that's music!
made me laugh in many different parts.. but the rainbow-pink floyd-homophobic part was HILARIOUS
Oh yes, I recognize this guy from 8 out of 10 cats (does Countdown). Which I should probably watch more of, non-American comedians are brilliant.
***** yeah, the countdown variation is pretty boring, but still mostly the same comedians making jokes, so I occasionally watch it.

Until we find another Cromwell, take the cane out the cupboard and give you a damn good thrashing.
Ryan Goddard not going to happen mate, best of luck with Brexit 😂😂😆
Alan B I forgot I made that comment. I saw it with your reply and it brightened my day. Thank you past self.
@henry And now?
Just watched him in the Edinburgh Fringe, he's so god damn funny.
