Event information

After a break in August this AWARD WINNING mental health safe space comedy night IS BACK and goodness, what a show doth cometh!

Phil Nichol has had to reschedule but have no fear, look who we've got instead...

ANDREW O'NEILL is an award-winning stand-up comedian, musician and writer. His distinctive voice and alternative credentials have set him apart and allowed him to carve out a unique place in the comedy world.

He has performed in over a dozen different countries, and is at home performing to rowdy weekend comedy clubs as much as to his own cult following…

He is author of the book A History Of Heavy Metal, described by living legend Alan Moore as

"a comprehensive landmark analysis of an enormous area of music that has been too long without such a thing, and has the massive advantage of the funny being turned up to twelve. A loud and thoroughly engrossing love-story."

TV credits include Never Mind The Buzzcocks, Saxondale, 50 Years Of Rock Excess, The Blame Game, Spicks and Specks and Good News Week. His own Radio 4 stand-up show Pharmacist Baffler won an award.

A natural fit at music festivals, he has performed stand-up at Glastonbury, Download, Leeds and Reading, Bloodstock, Latitude, V-Fest and supported Amanda Palmer, Les Claypool and once even the Kaiser Chiefs at the London Palladium.

O'Neill has written and toured a shit-tonne of solo comedy shows, including Occult Comedian, Winston Churchill Was Jack The Ripper, MINDSPIDERS, Alternative, Andrew O'Neill is Easily Distracted, Andrew O'Neill's Black Magick Fun Hour and the latest critically acclaimed, “We Are Not in the Least Afraid of Ruins; We Carry a New World in Our Hearts.”

Hannah Silvester - Proper endearingly funny.
