Dublin-born comedian David Nihill brings his new hour, Taking Tangents, to Wiseguys Town Square. Nihill left Ireland at 22 and has since lived in twelve countries and visited more than eighty, and that restless travel history is the raw material for his comedy—observations on culture clashes, botched attempts at learning other languages, questionable decisions made while drinking abroad, and the general experience of being a perpetually confused immigrant. He's won the San Francisco Comedy Competition (a contest with past finalists like Robin Williams and Ellen DeGeneres) and was runner-up at a Moth Grand Slam, and he's built a following with previous specials like Documented, Cultural Appreciation, and Shelf Help.
Beyond the stand-up stage, Nihill's work as a writer and storyteller has landed him spots on TED.com, Sirius XM, Just For Laughs, Netflix Is A Joke Festival, RTÉ's Late Late Show, NPR, and more. His clips have racked up hundreds of millions of views online, so there's a good chance you've stumbled across him already without knowing it. Taking Tangents promises to live up to its name, following his curiosity wherever it leads for an evening of sharp, well-traveled storytelling at Wiseguys' intimate club setting inside Town Square.
