David Hoyle Biography

David Hoyle is one of the most popular and richest Comedian who was born on September 19, 1962 in Blackpool, United Kingdom.

Aged twenty-one, he then left Blackpool and moved south to London, where he began to actively socialise in the city’s gay scene. Here he temporarily gained a job playing the role of hunchbacked butler Riff-Raff in a stage production of The Rocky Horror Show, although was forced to quit when his alcohol and illegal drug intake got out of control. He would later comment that in London during these years he had “a lovely time. It was like going out for a night and it carried on for three years.” However, it was during the 1980s that the HIV/AIDS epidemic hit the gay population and with little education or medical treatments, several of his friends’ contracted and died of the virus; “people started to drop like flies. In our early twenties, we were losing our friends similarly to people of pension age.” Partly because of the epidemic, Hoyle decided to leave London, moving back up north and settling down in Manchester.

Born into a lower-middle-class background in Layton, Blackpool, Lancashire, Hoyle was heavily bullied for his homosexuality as a child, leading to a mental breakdown aged fourteen. He began performing at a local working men’s club before moving to London and then Manchester. It was here that he began performing at gay clubs in the city in the early 1990s, eventually developing the character known as The Divine David, an “anti-drag queen” who combined “lacerating social commentary” with “breathtaking instances of self- recrimination and even self-harm.” Eventually taking his character to television, he appeared on the BBC’s Comedy Nation (1998) and produced two shows for Channel 4, The Divine David Presents (1998) and then The Divine David Heals (2000). That year, he decided to bring an end to The Divine David character, performing a farewell show at Streatham Ice Arena entitled The Divine David on Ice.
