In this lively episode of *Nathan, Nat & Shaun*, host Joel Creasy welcomes comedian David O'Doherty for a warm, self-deprecating chat ahead of O'Doherty’s upcoming show *Highway to the David Zone* at Perth’s Regal Theatre. The conversation dives into O'Doherty’s chaotic past gigs, including a memorable fall involving an Irish nurse named Kate Bowler, and his love for Perth’s Irish community. Joel reflects on his triumphant return as host of the GQ Men of the Year awards, admitting his performance was rough due to poor acoustics and a chaotic night with fireworks and unexpected interruptions. The hosts share cringe-worthy stories from their own live performances, from falling off stages to delivering disastrous speeches at family events. The episode is a celebration of comedic misfires, resilience, and the shared trauma of being on stage—where even the most polished performers can end up in an 85-year-old woman’s lap or being banned from a golf club.
Embrace the chaos of live performance—mistakes often become the best stories.

Even legends like David O'Doherty have had disastrous moments—proof that no one’s immune to stage fright or bad luck.
