Overview
From TV to live theater, The Brit keeps the audiences entertained and laughing. Took time out to star in a movie and TV show, but now he's back! Enjoy his Northern British accent!
He has performed internationally with appearances on TV, at the famous Improv and Stand Up Live clubs, The Ice House, Comedy Palace and corporate events including Banner Health, Tyler Technologies and Hilton Hotels. As well as performing at his own live shows, he is a much sought after Headliner and after dinner speaker. He creates shows appropriate for the audience he is performing to, so both PG-13 and adult shows are available. Versatility is a real talent, and the Brit has oodles of the stuff!

The Brit did a great job at our company Christmas party, especially considering that he had to work through a fairly “Shy and quiet crowd”. He tailored his jokes to our industry and took the time to ask questions before-hand to make the experience unique to our group.

The Brit Comedy Doc performed today for the toughest audience imaginable - a room full of seniors! Except for one lady who forgot to turn her hearing aid on... the Brit was a hit! Everyone loved him. My company, Right at Home, has already booked him for another event next month.
Love the Brit!

I hired Brit to perform at my friends dad's 70th birthday party. The audience varied from young to older (elderly). Everyone was laughing hysterically. I was thanked by many people for arranging such a fun event. I only heard positive remarks and everyone agreed that not only is Brit an incredible comedian but he also fits into any crowd. Brit can tailor fit a gig to fit any crowd's needs. Everyone commented on how nice he is. Brit was easy to work with, he was on-time, and he's a really great guy. I highly recommend him!!!

I met Brit just a few days before his performance at my club "JD's Bar and Casino",
he has a strong and commanding presence, it was at that moment I knew he would connect with my customers and provide everyone with a night to remember.
As anticipated, he delivered !! If you need a quality entertainer and love to laugh, call Brit….he is the go-to guy for comedy in Pahrump Nevada. Book early , he travels the country and performance dates fill up quickly.

Saw Doc Nightingale do his Christmas show. What a performance! He got the audience involved from the start, if he knew someone by name he'd address them directly. Then he pulled a bunch of us up to sing his version of the 12 days of Christmas, hilarious! Then two folks to do a very funny chicken and egg skit. All this plus his very funny stories and very physical sense of comedy made this an extremely enjoyable evening. Oh, and the buffet dinner was delicious!

attended the "Comedy Doc" last night and had a great time. he had the audience laughing and I loved how he got the audience involved in a couple of his skits. I haven't see that before in a comedy act. the Chechen and the egg skit is something you have to see.

What to Expect
My performance is aimed at making people feel happy - life can be challenging; people go to work, bring up kids; have responsibilities in society. Attending my performance allows people to let go for a little while; to have fun - to laugh and see the funny side of every day life. Most importantly, the audience gets to have fun. Lots of fun!
About
I'm The Brit, originally from England in the UK but now based in Arizona, and working worldwide. My show is typically 1 hour long and includes a combination of stand up comedy and audience participation. I perform at various venues around the world and was drawn to pursuing comedy as a career following years as a Dementia Doctor, General Psychotherapist and Clinical Hypnotherapist. There are lots of stories to tell; lots of funny situations - and I have always used my sense of humor in my clinical roles. It helps people big time, even more so than many of the 'pills' often dished out! In addition, being from the North of England, and having Irish parents, means that to survive - and thrive - a sense of humor is a must! I remember my mother saying things like 'In order to get wet, you have to be dry first' and when I asked her the quickest way to her new house she asked 'Are you driving or walking?' Driving was my response. 'That son, is the quickest way.' Is it any wonder I became a comedian?
I have starred in the horror movie Under the Mill 2: Klowny Reunion and played the role of a Paranormal Investigator in the Amazon Prime TV Show Ghost Aholics Crew. You can see my IMDb here: (link hidden)
As a stand up comedian and actor I like nothing better than making people laugh. The ability to turn a frown into a smile, then a giggle, then a full on belly laugh is a gift - and laughter is the best medicine any doctor can prescribe!

Set List
I expect a stage, mic and speakers to be supplied by the organizers.
Influences & Inspiration
I have been influenced by a number of acts. However, Rik Mayall is my comedic hero. Unfortunately, Rik passed from a heart attack in summer 2014, and left a huge gap in the UK comedy scene. Norman Wisdom, Lee Evans and Robin Williams and Joan Rivers have also been great influences and great inspiration too.
