David Nihill turns fear of public speaking into comedy career after friend's injury

Dublin comedian David Nihill turned a fear of public speaking into a successful career after a friend's spinal cord injury prompted him to host a fundraiser. He has since become the biggest-selling Irish comedian in America. Nihill shared his journey on The Late Late Show, explaining how he initially avoided public speaking. He adopted the stage name "Irish Dave" to keep his comedy career secret from friends and family in Ireland. He moved to the USA in 2004 for work and humorously recalled a mishap while managing a VIP list for a trade mission. His mother, an undocumented immigrant, once nursed Donald Trump’s mother.
