JIMEOIN WORK IN PROGRESS

With special guest Micky Bartlett

A preview night of comedy with a difference - 2 shows for the price of one!

Portstewart's own Jimeoin performs a special preview hour before he heads to the Edinburgh Fringe.

With support from special guest Micky Bartlett who is also performing his fringe preview. Micky is from Lurgan and you may know him alongside Jimeoin as another regular panelist on the BBC's 'Monumental', or caught him on the 'Blame Game' or supporting Tommy Tiernan or even Patrick Kielty at the Odyssey Arena.

This is not a touring show, this is a special work in progress preview type show - so come expecting nerves, a bit of chaos and a lot of laughs ... but don't come expecting a slick, finished comedy show on the cheap. This is strictly a work in progress.

Monday 31st July, 7.30pm, £19.50
