Essentially, this is a show where a comedian spends two hours using PowerPoint to show us his funny tweets and replies and the responses from his fans and internet trolls. As a concept, it should get boring but it doesn't because David uses the format to breakdown the responses into groups and themes and explains his rationale for engaging the trolls with humour, highlighting their own ignorances and prejudice. It takes us to some dark places (the abduction of Madeline McCann and the Holocaust) but always with an eye on humour and the ridiculousness of the trolls.
I chuckled consistently, even laughing out loud at times. Maybe if I'd been a follower of his Twitter feed the hilarity would have been lessened by familiarity but his presentation is faultless. He even let us slag him at the end using a mock troll account.
The night is a joy.
