2018 Edinburgh Fringe
James Meehan - Gaz
A passionate, heartfelt and very funny hour of stand-up from working-class comic James Meehan. A voice that needs to be heard.
2017. I'm an angry insufferable mess. I don't leave the flat for six months. 2018. Same. Now I call it working from home. A comedy show for hermits. James Meehan is a comedian and ex-member of Gein's Family Giftshop. You might have seen him on the telly in Inside No. 9 or Drunk Histories, or heard him on BBC Radio 4 Extra's Newsjack. Edinburgh Panel Prize winner. Chortle.co.uk's Best Newcomer winner. ***** (EdFestMag.com). 'His earnestness is compelling' (Scotsman). 'It's the personal touches that provide the moments of inspiration' (Skinny).

British Comedy Guide, 5th July 2018Comedian puts the Fringe in Edinburgh Fringe
Unlike most comedians who spend a fortune at the Edinburgh Fringe, James Meehan, in what he describes as a moment of madness, spent £3,000 to train as a barber. Now that he has graduated, he is planning on taking his new skill set to the Edinburgh Fringe this year for any comedian needing their hairline giving a trim for ten pound, with half the proceeds going to the male suicide prevention charity CALM.
