‘Edinburgh Comedy Award’ Nominee 2009 & Chortle's ‘Best Breakthrough Act’ nomination 2010, returns to Edinburgh with more hilarious facts and less faith. Pete's on Earth is a journey across the globe, adapting to different societies but realising the only way to be truly happy is to convince everyone else on Earth that they are wrong.

"The funniest first hour I have ever seen here in Edinburgh... this is observational, anecdotal, autobiographical comedy at David Quirk - I Don’t Wanna Tell Jokes Assembly @ Assembly Hall, 5-29 August, 8pm £10 (£9 conc)
An honest and frank, painfully funny storyteller, award-winning Australian comic David Quirk takes his audience on a brazen journey through comfort and discomfort, to the humour in life’s darkest moments. For those who like their comedy so dark it’s burnt, David makes his Edinburgh debut in what one newspaper described as ‘a chainsaw with cheekbones’, which certainly works best as a metaphor. Golden Gibbo Award Winner, 2010 Melbourne International Comedy Festival
