Huge Davies (born Hugh Davies) is a musical comedian known for deadpan delivery whilst wearing a full-size Yamaha keyboard strapped to himself.
Born with the first name Hugh, he performed as Huge, an old nickname, when first performing in Aberdeen, for the sake of non-identification.[1]
Davies was nominated for the Best Newcomer award at the 2019 Edinburgh Festival Fringe for his debut solo show The Carpark[2] which was described as "well-crafted, well-structured and well-performed" by Chortle.[3] The keyboard was described in The Scotsman as “more like a bank of special effects, rather than merely a musical instrument.”[4]
Davies was a semi-finalist in the BBC New Comedy Award in 2017.[5] Davies has appeared on Comedy Central Live at the Comedy Store,[6] Roast Battle[7] and as a writer and performer on BBC flagship satirical radio programme The Now Show.[8] Davies acted in BBC Two comedy series The First Team. Davies has appeared on celebrity game show Guessable alongside host Sara Pascoe, Alan Davies and Nish Kumar amongst others.[9]
On 16 December 2021, Channel 4 commissioned a three-part short-form scripted comedy series, The Artists, created, written by and starring Huge Davies. The series premiered on Channel 4 Comedy YouTube from 30 December 2021 and is available through the on demand service All 4.[10][11]
