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.
