Hi, welcome to the website of David Eagle, your favourite blind folk-singing comedian. I’ve won various awards. I’ve done quite a bit of stuff on BBC Radio 4, including my own comedy series, See No Eagle. I’ve done a tiny bit of TV: Rosie Jones’s Disability Comedy Extravaganza. I am a third of the folk band The Young’uns (three-time winners of the BBC Radio 2 Folk Award). I occasionally DJ at various festivals. I have a podcast. And I do lots of gigs, which you are welcome to attend.
That’ll do for a little intro, I reckon.
