(WASHINGTON)—²ÝÝ®ÊÓƵÃâ·Ñ°æapp today announced David Nihill: Shelf Help Tour, an additional program to its 2024–2025 Comedy at the Kennedy Center season, a signature program focused on elevating comedy as an art form and uniting the community together through laughter.
Leaving Dublin, Ireland where he was born and raised until the age of 22, Irish comedian David Nihill got drunk on travel and never quite hit sobriety of it. He has lived and worked in 12 countries and visited over 70. His show mixes comedy and reading recommendations.
After an international run of sold out shows the award-winning comedian, making his Kennedy Center debut just in time for St. Patrick’s Day, brings his latest stand-up, Shelf Help, to the Kennedy Center on March 7, 2025.
Nihill is the winner of the prestigious annual San Francisco Comedy Competition, (previous finalists include Robin Williams, Ellen DeGeneres and Dana Carvey) and runner-up in the Moth’s largest U.S. Grandslam storytelling competition. Also a bestselling writer, he recorded his debut special Documented for Dry Bar Comedy in 2019, and his follow up Cultural Appreciation in 2023. He has been featured on , Sirius XM, Just For Laughs, Netflix is a Joke Festival, The Irish Independent, Inc, NPR, and the Huffington Post among others. A festival favorite, his videos have also gone viral many times over with over 500 million views and a social following of over 2 million people. The Los Angeles Times has remarked “One of Netflix is a Joke Fest’s funniest shows” and Scenestr has said that Nihill’s shows are “A superb night out. Highly recommended!”
