Northern Ireland's comedy scene continues to grow from strength to strength and Dave Elliott is a name always on the biggest bills.
He said: "I got involved in a sketch group many years ago and then just through that I met a few other comedians and they sort of bullied me really to give stand-up a go and then sort of just went from there. "I've been very fortunate to be able to find enough people to find me funny enough to be able to steal a living," he joked.
"So it's been really fun. I'd be very hard on myself and always looking for there to be some sort of negative or what I can do better but the feedback has been nice so I'm trying to be better at letting myself enjoy it and have fun." "For me, it's just been such a privilege to be a part of it... I'm a big one looking back at your younger self and telling them 'imagine you saw this'.
