Red Noise - Owen O’Neill

Thursday 27 July, 8pm
Tickets £8 full, £6 concession
O’Neill is a master storyteller, to call what he does
stand-up does not do him justice. This is genuine
comedy from the gut. - THE NEW YORK TIMES *****
O’Neill will take you on a rollercoaster ride, strap in. -
THE SCOTSMAN *****
Red Noise is a hybrid of stand-up comedy, theatrical
monologue and poetry and O’Neill blends all three
to perfection. True stories from his life include being
one of sixteen – yes, sixteen! – siblings and having to
queue for breakfast, being struck by lightning at nine
years old and being told he had the cure for cancer.
He’ll talk about when he was interrogated by an IRA
man with a stammer (the longest two hours of his life)
and how his feature film debut with Liam Neeson went
horribly wrong. All this and more in this hilarious and
unique 90 minute show!
Owen O’Neill has toured the world with his one-man
shows accumulating a string of awards including three
Fringe Firsts at the Edinburgh Fringe: The Edinburgh
Critics Award for Best Comedy; The Angel Award for
Best One-man Show; The Time Out Comedy Award.
He has also won Best Actor at the 2010 1st Irish
Theatre Festival in New York City and Best Short Film
award at the Boston Film Festival 2008
