Huge Davies is a stand-up comedian and musical act known for his deadpan delivery, dark humour, and unique performances using a custom-built keyboard.
His debut solo show, The Carpark, was a sell-out at the 2019 Edinburgh Fringe, earning an Edinburgh Comedy Award Best Newcomer nomination, which was followed up with two more hit shows, Whodunnit and Album 4 My Ancestors (dead), both selling out and earning critical praise.
In this episode we discuss Huge's strategic approach to booking TV gigs, life as a music teacher with the joy of seeing that first spark of creativity, self protection through personas and finding satisfaction in difficult gigs.

Are You A Charlotte?
In 1997, actress Kristin Davis’ life was forever changed when she took on the role of Charlotte York in Sex and the City. As we watched Carrie, Samantha, Miranda and Charlotte navigate relationships in NYC, the show helped push once unacceptable conversation topics out of the shadows and altered the narrative around women and sex. We all saw ourselves in them as they searched for fulfillment in life, sex and friendships. Now, Kristin Davis wants to connect with you, the fans, and share untold stories and all the behind the scenes. Together, with Kristin and special guests, what will begin with Sex and the City will evolve into talks about themes that are still so relevant today. "Are you a Charlotte?" is much more than just rewatching this beloved show, it brings the past and the present together as we talk with heart, humor and of course some optimism.
