MICHAEL REDMOND
" I wrote a joke in 1987 "
Michael Redmond left his home town of Dublin thirty
years ago to try his luck on the London comedy
circuit....with just one joke.
This is the story of how he fared on that journey and
why he has bequeathed something unusual in his Will
to the BBC newscaster, George Alygia.
He guarantees that there is more than one joke in the
show!

Wiseboy
Well, well, well. If it isn't Rhys James, the guy who said comedy shows are for losers and blurbs are for idiots. Back here with another comedy show, as explained in this blurb. Unbelievable. As seen on Mock the Week, Russell Howard's Stand Up Central and Virtually Famous. ‘A cut above his humdrum peers’ **** (Independent). ‘Sickeningly talented’ **** (Time Out).
‘Physically unimpressive’ **** (Scotsman). ‘A frighteningly good stand-up comedian... I think he could be really huge’ (Doc Brown Guardian). One of the best reviewed comedy shows of 2016..
