Comments

David's first brush with comedy was in 1982 when he wrote and performed in the sixth form revue at The Haberdashers Aske School, Elsetree., which nearly gets him expelled.

At Cambridge, where he graduated from King's College with a double-first in English Literature, he was vice president of the Footlights.

On leaving, he performed stand-up on the London circuit, while working on a PhD entitled Seductive Innocence: The Little Girl In Victorian Sexuality.

There he met Rob Newman and they started writing sketches for WeekEnding.
