Monday 13th October


October’s Square Hole below. Just the details, that is. The actual gig itself can’t be downloaded. Even if there was a transcript, it’d be a cold reading, at best. You’d really have to be there to fully appreciate it. It will contain eye contact and everything. Well, not everything, but cookies, at least.

Caimh McDonnell

Caimh McDonnellIn his decade on the British stand-up circuit, Caimh McDonnell has firmly established himself as the white-haired Irishman whose name nobody can pronounce. Frequently admired and praised by fellow comedians for his prolific and potent writing ability, he’s always in demand at the major comedy clubs and has done stand-up tours in the Far East, the Middle East and the near east (Norwich). In addition to this he’s performed acclaimed solo shows at the Edinburgh fringe and has written for various for TV productions.

‘Superb’ – Manchester Evening News

‘blessed with natural charm’ – BBC

‘Consummate skill… a masterclass’ – Chortle

James Meehan

He was also a writer and cast member of the 2014 Foster’s Edinburgh Panel Prize winning ‘Funz and Gamez’. As a stand-up he’s carving out a niche for himself as a wonderfully offbeat presence on the circuit.

‘Razor sharp timing and cutting northern wit’ – Shortcom

‘Brilliantly unconventional’ – Student Journals
