Nothing costs better than free and so why not check out some very fine comedy in the plush surroundings of the fabulous Sunflower bar next Sunday 29th September. If however, you feel it’s worth something then pay whatever you think it’s worth and act all smug knowing it’s going to a good cause. Win: Win!
THIS IS A PAY-WHAT-YOU-FEEL-IT’S-WORTH EVENT. However, if you preorder your ticket on Eventbrite, you secure a seat. All profits will be going to L’arche Belfast, a community-based organization for adults with learning difficulties.
On paper, Luke McGibbon is a very good person. He is a support worker and counsellor. He is convinced that he’s not, or that it’s not so simple. This is a show about therapy and being quite flawed and silly, but mostly it’s a loosely connected bunch of material and funny(!!!) jokes. It will be somewhat vulnerable, an hour long and quite inappropriate.
Comedically, Luke has supported such Luminaries as Kevin McAleer, Rich hall and Jason Byrne, and was tour support for Micky Bartlett years ago (so long ago that it’s kind of embarrassing Luke still uses it to sell tickets). This is his second solo show, and he is putting on his least stained pair of trousers to perform it.
“Great set” – Jason Byrne (he’d arrived an hour late and missed the set)
“Are you Luke? How long do you want me to do? That’s fine.”- Rich Hall
“Conjured up little sympathy for his broken leg”- Gigging NI
“Charmingly naff… It is witty stuff and, at times, darkly knowing… Indeed, one of McGibbon’s main strengths is his drily articulate asides”- Culture NI
Support comes from Ross Mitchell.
