David is the author of 12 books, including the best-selling Chicken,
which is being made into a TV series by Showtime. He made a one- man show out of the book, and when it premiered at the Edinburgh Fringe Festival, the Independent named it the number one show in
the UK. His latest book, Hos, Hookers, Call Girls and Rent Boys,
was featured on the front page of the Sunday New York Times Book
Review. “Eye-opening, astonishing, brutally honest and frequently
funny… unpretentious and riveting — but also graphic, politically
incorrect and mostly unquotable in this newspaper.” Prior to
becoming an author, David was a professional actor, comic and
screenwriter.
