Dominic Holland has made a vast amount of appearances on television and radio and this professional comedian has carved himself a highly successful career as a quick-witted and hilarious event host, conference presenter and after dinner speaker. Dominic holds an audience with his charm and attention to detail. His humour combines storytelling with observational comedy and is fed by a sarcastic undertone. As a comedian, Dominic has the ability to ad-lib with ease during shows and presentations.
This makes them more interesting, accessible and memorable than strictly script-based performances. Dominic began his career as a stand-up comedian in 1993 when he won the prestigious Perrier Award as the Best Newcomer at the Edinburgh Festival Fringe. He was nominated for the main prize three years later before he landed a Radio 4 show and took a range of writing roles for stand up comedians. Among Dominic’s many television appearances are The Royal Variety Performance, Have I Got News For You and Loose Ends.
He has 38 television credits in total which include appearances in television sitcoms, documentaries and talk shows such as The Wright Stuff, Good Morning Britain and Richard & Judy. Equally, at home entertaining audiences at small, private functions or huge corporate events, Dominic is renowned and well-loved on the entertainment circuit. Dominic has impressed audiences as the corporate entertainment for a host of major corporate clients. Barclays have banked on his services, while he has driven crowds wild at corporate events for Mazda and Nissan.
This multi-talented act and professional, natural performer has proved cool enough for Iceland and technical enough for Microsoft. He’s fuelled crowds with laughter at events for Shell and BP. Dominic is a funnyman of the highest order and is capable of rousing any crowd. Dominic has produced five books – Only In America, The Ripple Effect, A Man’s Life, Eclipsed and Open Links. But his unrivalled abilities as a comedian are what have made Dominic so popular in his one-man stand-up shows, which is why he tours the country regularly to packed houses. He also holds the honour of being Spider-man's father. Or rather, Spider-man actor Tom Holland happens to be Dominic Holland’s son.
Dominic’s infectious style, personality, humour and subsequent stage show resonates with audiences all over the country and abroad.
