John Meagher does not waste a minute of this densely packed debut hour of personal story telling. There is fascinating insight into growing up in Northern Ireland during The Troubles and it's lasting impact into adulthood punctuated by big laughs.
After a sell-out run at Dublin Fringe, host of Radio 4's The Divil's Own John Meagher makes his debut at The Gilded Balloon with his debut show Big Year. 'John is a very sharp comedian... with a subtlety to his stuff I didn't have (in younger days)' (Patrick Kielty, Irish Independent).
