David McSavage

From Wikipedia, the free encyclopedia

David Andrews, Jr is an Irish comedian who works under the pseudonym of David McSavage^[1].

McSavage has performed at national and international comedy festivals including the Edinburgh Festival^[2] and the Kilkenny Comedy Festival. He has made several appearances in Danish television Stand-up.dk and "Talegaver til børn" (Oral precents for children) - Charity show.

McSavage's father is the prominent former Fianna Fáil politician David Andrews^[3], and his brother is the Fianna Fáil politician Barry Andrews - the name 'David McSavage' is a pseudonym, partly adopted in order to disguise this fact.

He is known for busking on streets in Dublin City Centre, and has been arrested for casual trading ^[4]^[5]^[6]on Grafton Street due to providing copies of his DVD for purchase while performing. His routine mainly consists of improvised songs and comments about passing pedestrians, who may or may not notice that they are the subject of humour.
