Damian Clark

(Australian Comedian based on your couch)

Damian Clark is one of the best comics to emerge from Australia in recent years. His enthusiastic and consistently energetic storytelling continues to captivate people everywhere. Damian has performed all across Australia and is now based in Dublin and is a regular on the UK and European circuit.

Immediately likeable, Damian was voted 'The Number 1 event to see' & 'cream of the crop' (InDublin Magazine) within only months of moving to Ireland. Notably his ability to target everyday observations culturally as a source of humour immediately builds a great rapor with every audience.

This explains his abundance of sell-out shows in the Melbourne International Comedy Festival, Kilkenny Cat Laughs and the Edinburgh Fringe.

Ultimately 'there is barely a bad word to say about Clark: distinctive and possessing a comic talent beyond his years, both biological and mental' - chortle.co.uk
