Edinburgh Fringe
Lucas O'Neil: Emotional Man
Lucas (Comedy Central) built his career talking about his family on stage. Now, they'd like him to stop. And, he will - right after this show. In one final airing of grievances, the US comedian examines his anxious family, his role within it and how it all changed after his mother's passing and his father's cancer diagnosis. Emotional Man is a witty and insightful examination of the people and places that shape who we are and who we become without them.
