David Trent is a human whirlwind. He made his sensational debut at this year’s Edinburgh Festival with his much talked about show ‘Spontaneous Comedian’ that had punters banging at the door for tickets and for which he garnered a Foster’s Comedy Award Nominee for Best Newcomer. Using both a computer and a projector to make the phenomenal show, David’s unique mix of music, video, animation & comedy is unlike anything you’ve ever seen at the Fringe or indeed anywhere else. His unique performance defies categorization – it simply commands edge of the seat engagement and awestruck laughter from everyone in the room.
