A few things are crystal clear after seeing David O’Doherty’s show Tiny Piano Man.
The first thing is that he’s back. He’s very happy to be back. He will sing songs about being back, and you will love it.
Having spent most of his time on a remote island with his parents during the pandemic, you’ve never seen someone so happy to be back at work – risking getting covid from Melbourne audiences (again) to sing some fun songs on his piano.
Part-concert, full-hilarity, he’s the man you sort of recognise but you’re not sure why. When he’s not dealing with the Wild West trying to kill him, or caring for drunk Aussies abroad, he’s contemplating the life he’s lead as a comedian – and trying to work out how to go to the bathroom without his mobile. Whether you’re heading to the show to see David O’Doherty or David_O’Doherty, at the end of the day you’ll learn, he’s David O’Doherty.
If you want to know why they call him the Tiny Piano Man, you’ll have to come check it out for yourself.
