On 3rd July I took part in heat 3 of the BBC Radio 4 Comedy Award. In this podcast I impart my experience of the competition, I report on how I fared, and we compare my broadcast set from the actual set on the night.
Well what a few weeks it’s been. I’ve had the honour of opening for the amazing comedians Tom Wrigglesworth and Boothby Graffoe. I’ve been chosen to take part in the BBC Radio 4 New Comedy Award. Plus – and this is the big one – I’ve been groped by The Young’uns”> very own Sean Cooney.
We return to Suffolk’s Folk East Festival for another live podcast. Join us in a packed marquee as we host an hour of music, chat, games and a mix of spontaneous and semi-planned features with Philip Henry and Hannah Martin (AKA Edgelarks), Cohen Braithwaite-Kilcoyne and Luke Daniels. We get a lesson in beat boxing, there’s a music quiz, we play a game of kerplunk, and Herbal Tea Of The Week is back but with an extreme sports twist. Plus we introduce you to the newest member of The Young’uns family.
Join The Young’uns with top UK banjo player Dan Walsh live from 2018’s Young’uns weekend in Suffolk. Music, chat and spontaneously generated “features.” David gets a banjo lesson, Dan creates an improvised song and tells stories of surreal gig experiences, plus there’s a brief appearance from Shaggy.

For those of you who are too busy or too sensible to listen to me rambling at you for minutes on end, here is a brief written summation of the salient points.
Firstly, my attempts to restart David’s Daily Digital Dollop lasted for all of sixteen days. For those of you who followed that short-lived project I hope you enjoyed getting lost with me in piss filled underpasses, rifling through bags of sex toys, and groping sleeping men. I imagine that those of you who didn’t follow these adventures are now, after reading that last sentence, desperate to do so.

Today we welcome our latest member to the Dollop family, comedian Arthur Smith. Plus, find out why I’ve been talking to walls and putting clothes on inanimate objects.
Today’s Dollop features anecdotes from the Bath Comedy Festival after show party, an improvised poem about cheese, and we reveal what’s in the Love Honey Sexual Happiness Goody Bag, handed out to Bath Comedy Festival New Comedian competition finalists. Dedicated to this week’s Dolloppee Of The Week, Sarah.
Today’s Dollop comes live from Bath Comedy Festival’s New Comedian Of The Year competition final in which I am taking part. It started out with over 200 acts, and I’ve made it to the last ten, but can I take it further. In 2009, Rob Beckett came second in the competition. The winner was Joe Lycett. But how will David Eagle fare? Find out in today’s Dollop, featuring pre and post gig analysis along with clips from the gig.
It’s the eve of judgement day. Tomorrow I take part in the final of Bath Comedy Festival’s New Comedian Competition, sponsored by Love Honey, a sex toys manufacturer. Hence why today’s Dollop is essentially a barrage of sex toys puns.
