In a West Australian premiere, David Quirk brings his award winning Shaking Hands With Danger to Perth Fringe World, after sell out shows at the Edinburgh Fringe and London’s Soho Theatre.
It is a tale that takes us back to one night in Finland; a night that changed everything, when he shook hands with danger and didn’t let go. Part tribute, part confessional, this is a love story in reverse where people get hurt and cheaters change their spots.
For those who like their comedy so dark it's burnt, David's material travels between the profane and the profound. Since 2006, he has regularly performed on the Australian comedy circuit and has performed full length stand-up comedy shows at the Melbourne, Adelaide and Edinburgh comedy festivals. He is a fixture on the Melbourne International Comedy Festival Roadshow, and starred in ABC TV’s Problems. His eyebrows are white.
A triumph at the Australian festivals this year, Shaking Hands With Danger won David the Piece of Wood Award (the comedians’ choice award) as well as excellent reviews and a nomination for Best of the Fest in Sydney. It’s a good show by a bad person, about lovers, infidels and a flight with Slash. It has been in the making for nearly two years and, once you’ve seen it, you’ll know why.
