David Andrews, Jr (born 3 Feb 1966[1]) better known by his pseudonym David McSavage, is an Irish comedy writer and performer. He has performed at national and international comedy festivals[2] such as the Kilkenny Comedy Festival.

He is known for street performance on streets in Dublin city centre, and has been arrested on Grafton Street as he was selling copies of his DVD whilst performing in a posing pouch. His routine consists of improvised songs often predicated on speculation about the lives of those passing by. He is the son of an Irish politician, David Andrews, brother of former Fianna Fáil politician Barry Andrews and first cousin of Irish television and radio presenter Ryan Tubridy, and also cousin of former Fianna Fáil TD Chris Andrews.

In 2008, McSavage devised and featured in Headwreckers, an episode of Channel 4's Comedy Lab show. In 2009, he piloted his own show on RTÉ Two called The Savage Eye.
