MORGAN HEARST: FAILED HUMAN
Morgan Hearst is one of the boldest stand-up comics to come out of Northern Ireland in years. Intelligent, witty, but brutally self-deprecating, his one man show Failed Human debuted at the 2011 Belfast Fringe Festival to a packed audience. Fearless, honest, inventive, and hilarious, Hearst has been described as “The go-to guy for confessional rants” by Alternative Ulster magazine.
Plus support from Christian Talbot, Aaron Marshall and Alan Irwin. Adam Laughlin hosts.

Venue: Black Box
Big Laughs and the Black Box present a new Friday night comedy club in the heart of Cathedral Quarter, featuring the very best headlining comedians in the country.
This month, we present Eleanor Tiernan – cousin of Tommy, and a fine stand-up comic in her own right.
One of the most original, honest and funny comedians working in Ireland today, she has performed at the Kilkenny Cat Laughs Comedy Festival, the Galway Comedy Festival, and the Edinburgh Fringe Festival, and was a semi-finalist in Paramount Comedy’s So You Think You’re Funny? competition. Within just a year of starting stand-up Eleanor was asked to perform in Dublin’s Vicar St for the RTE production The Liffey Laughs, and the BBC’s One Night Stand.
Support comes from George Quinn and Lauren Kerr. Ruaidhrí Ward hosts.
Tickets available now from the Black Box website here.
