About this episode
David O'Doherty joins the hosts for a conversation about his sporting experiences and surreal comedy.
Irish comedian, writer and podcaster David O’Doherty joins The Socially Distant Sports Bar this week — bringing his trademark mix of sharp comedy, surreal storytelling and genuine sporting obsession. Known for his live shows, books and appearances on shows like 8 Out of 10 Cats Does Countdown , David also brings a deep love of cycling, Irish sport and the kind of niche sporting moments this podcast thrives on. David's podcast with Max Rushden, What Did You Do Yesterday? is a favourite of the Distant Pod team. Across this episode, David joins Elis James, Mike Bubbins and Steff Garrero for a wide‑ranging conversation, split across three parts. 🎧 PART 1 David looks back on his rugby playing days , growing up in Ireland during the eras of Euro 88 and Italia 90 , and how attitudes to GAA and other sports shaped his early experience of sport.
