COMEDY LAB – LORCAN MCGRANE’S CHARITY SHOP RUMMAGE

When he is not in his childhood bedroom talking to action figures and wallowing in existential angst, Monaghan comedian and ‘Rural Irish Geek’ Lorcan McGrane (BBC’s Live at the Sunflower) likes nothing more wandering aimlessly around charity and discount shops attempting to find the weirdest items possible. As part of the Cathedral Quarter Comedy Club Comedy Lab Series, Lorcan discusses some his strangest and poignant finds, the stories behind his top ten charity shop buys, and his obsession with the things everyday folk left behind.
