Easy Music for Difficult Ears

Hey,
If you haven’t heard of or just heard Dave McSavage (nee Andrews) then you are very very lucky. He is an Irish “comedian” based for the most part in Temple Bar and he is a full-on dickhead, with a routine that (poorly) rips the piss out of passers by and foreigners in general. He also does one or two musical numbers that are quite frankly shite.
As a person, he has pretty much no redeeming features and I’ve been led to believe that the word “cunt” was inventive specifically with him in mind. But before you make your mind up, read below…

David McSavage threatens rape to shut up heckler at comedy gig
(Thanks to Una Rocks and Damian Mulley for the link.)

For all of you that can’t be arsed to follow the link, it says the following…

“It was amusing enough that David McSavage appeared as the closing act on a night that was supposed to be for “up and coming comedians” but, nevertheless, most people inevitably went along with it. Naturally enough, as with most performances, there were one or two people nattering down the back but for Mr. McSavage, this was too much to stand. He drew attention to them from the outset, condemning women for not being able to focus without talking to each other, comparing them to the Borg by all defending each other no matter what, while their boyfriends didn’t want to tell them to shut up lest they “not get their hole”. Fine so. The show continued.

Nevertheless, time and again, he kept coming back to mock the chattering two at the back. Until, finally, one of them left and he said he had wanted to “whack the faggoty fuck with his guitar”. Still, the audience – just about – stayed with him. Finally though, he pointed to the second remaining girl at the back and said that he wanted to “bring the black-haired one up to the stage and bend her over and wallop her over this chair while she struggled”. At this point, Aidan Bishop (brother of Des Bishop), the resident MC of the International, had had just about enough and decided to call time on the whole thing. Initially he sat on the stage to the right of David, but David continued with the insinuation of the above threat until he was told that it was best to end his performance. McSavage cited this as being “uncool” and told Aidan that it was sad “that he couldn’t even set up his own comedy club”, before telling the crowd and Aidan to “go fuck themselves” while walking off.

Perhaps the most frustrating thing is that it was the funniest thing the audience had seen all night from a lacklustre combination of so-called ‘new talent’, who had all been doing stand-up for at least two years.”

Dickhead.
