Edinburgh Day 6: David Boyle's Comedy Surprises and Mental Health Reflections

And then there was like fucking a few more older cunts at the front. They were like yeah, I actually I actually got most of them. I think they were struggling with the heat. Anyway, if I can finish the show, do the fucking bucket thing, because you're just getting fucking tips at the end of the show.
Ever had one of those days where everything just clicks? On Day 6 of his Edinburgh adventure, comedian David Boyle finds himself in such a moment. In this episode of 'I'm Quitting Alcohol', Boyle recounts his unexpected success at a comedy gig that he feared would flop. The room was half full, but the energy was electric, and the audience's enthusiasm turned what could have been a disaster into a triumph.
Boyle's raw honesty and humor shine through as he navigates the ups and downs of performing sober. But the surprises don't end there. After the show, Boyle meets a fellow comedian from Montreal who opens up about the mental health struggles many face at the festival. This conversation prompts Boyle to reflect on why people get into comedy and the deep-seated desire for fame. It's a thought-provoking segment that adds depth to his usual comedic narrative.
As always, Boyle wraps up with a nod to his upcoming comedy show in London and a gentle reminder to share the podcast with friends. Whether you're on your own sobriety journey or just in need of a good laugh, this episode offers a blend of humor, insight, and genuine connection.
