David Bell is a popular & hugely entertaining guest speaker; recommended by hundreds of Clubs and Societies across the UK. He is different, and will not only surprise you but will also make you think  . . . .  and certainly make you smile.

The delightful little Peak District village of Eyam where David now lives is never shy making capital from its plague heritage. Tens of thousands of tourists flock there every year to see for themselves where a brave  disease driven lockdown was played out with such tragic consequences.

Don't expect too much doom and gloom from this compelling speaker however.

David Bell's tongue-in-cheek take on staying fit and well and avoiding disease 350 years ago will convince you that, even in these troubled times, we all have a lot to be thankful for. 

"After four decades as a straight-laced civil servant I never imagined," said David, "that I would now be 'hamming it up'  with a life-sized inflatable dummy as my side-kick."

"Looking back at early healthcare, it's hardly surprising that patients then were as likely to die from the prescribed cure than their actual illness." added David.

“Despite all we are going through laughter is still the best medicine" commented Janet Staine of The Crosspool Ladies Group in Sheffield. "David Bell came to entertain our members and  immediately won us over. He had us all in fits of giggles throughout his 70 minute session. David is thoroughly engaging with an uncanny knack of being able to draw you in with his wonderful storytelling. Whenever he is in your area just go and see him for yourself; he really does spin a fabulous tale - with a surprising ending - and you will feel all the better for it "
