Kemah Bob brings a new work-in-progress show to XS Malarkey, while Leila Navabi and Peter Flanagan present their latest tours.
One of a fresh batch of terrific Irish comedians that have gained fame in the UK for their hilarious social media output, Flanagan has gained fans in this country for pointing out the foibles of its colonial past. A risky strategy, but luckily, he’s entirely correct and also brilliantly funny. Taking reparations in the form of your ticket money. Sounds like a more than fair deal.
Leila Navabi tells (and sings) the tale of her first pregnancy in a non-more modern telling of the miracle of childbirth. Regaling audiences with the wild ride of making a baby at home with her partner, a best mate as the sperm donor, and, naturally, his boyfriend cheering from the sidelines. Navabi unpacks love, ambition, and the chaos of building a family on her own terms.
