Summary
Huge Davies is a stand-up comedian and musical act known for his deadpan delivery, dark humour, and unique performances using a custom-built keyboard.
His debut solo show, The Carpark, was a sell-out at the 2019 Edinburgh Fringe, earning an Edinburgh Comedy Award Best Newcomer nomination, which was followed up with two more hit shows, Whodunnit and Album 4 My Ancestors (dead), both selling out and earning critical praise.
In this episode we discuss Huge's strategic approach to booking TV gigs, life as a music teacher with the joy of seeing that first spark of creativity, self protection through personas and finding satisfaction in difficult gigs.
