One of the UK\u2019s best-loved comedians, Davies is a staple of British television, known for his performance as the lead of the long-running TV series Jonathan Creek, and as a permanent panellist on quiz show QI<\/a>.<\/p>\n

Davies has released three memoirs: My Favourite People and Me, 1978\u201388 published in September 2009, Just Ignore Him, published in September 2020 and White Male Stand-Up, released in September this year. In both his latest memoir and his latest stand-up performances, Davies covers his extensive career, the highs, the lows, and the struggles he\u2019s experienced.<\/p>\n

Davies last toured Aotearoa in 2015, performing 11 dates with his Little Victories tour. Reviewing Davies\u2019 2013 show Life is Pain<\/a>, the Herald determined Davies was \u201ccheery, silly and quick-witted\u201d and said: \u201cYour jaw will hurt from laughter.\u201d<\/p>\n
