MICKY FLANAGAN the ‘OUT OUT’ TOUR Autumn/Winter 2010

Christian Knowles Productions Presents: MICKY FLANAGAN THE ‘OUT OUT’ TOUR Autumn/Winter 2010

***If.comedy nominee 2007***

“Excellent, funny and poignant” - The Observer “Micky’s take on his working-class East End background is side-splitting... The rising star Micky Flanagan" – Sunday Times "If there is any justice in the world he’d be a huge star" - Time Out

2007 If.comedy nominee, the almighty Micky Flanagan will be taking his show ‘Out Out’ on tour across the UK this autumn.

It’s been a great 18 months for Micky - he appeared in BBC 1’s Michael McIntyre’s Road Show, his recent Radio 4 series What Chance Change? was a hit with listeners and critics alike, and he is one of a handful of comics to perform their own Comedy Central special. In 2010 he also sold out his two Bloomsbury Theatre shows in record time. So join Micky as he hits the road this autumn as he performs the best of his last two Edinburgh shows. In fact it’s not just time to go out, it’s time to go ‘Out Out’!

Tirelessly funny, Micky draws on his East End background as he ruthlessly deconstructs the Cockney myth with razor-sharp observational wit. He tells a comic tale of a working class upbringing, where ‘alphabetti spaghetti’ is a luxury and a bottle of ‘Blue Nun’ the height of sophistication. His star finally exploded on to the comedy circuit a couple of years ago with a brilliantly observed Edinburgh Fringe show about his rise from working-class Herbert to middle-class ponce, and being caught awkwardly between the two. The show brought him well-deserved acclaim with a best newcomer nomination at the if.comedy awards (now the Edinburgh Comedy Awards).

Micky has gone on to showcase his unique brand of infectious humour with four episodes of his very own BBC Radio 4 series What Chance Change? , which aired in June 2010. As well as recording a special for Comedy Central he has also hosted BBC Radio 4’s ‘4 At The Fringe 09’ and ‘4 Stands Up ’. Other appearances include; the first series of ‘Michael McIntyre’s Comedy Roadshow’ (BBC 1), ‘Alan Carr And Friends’ (BBC Radio 2 ), The Comedy Store ( Comedy Central ) plus ‘Laughter For Life’ (Channel 4 ). Micky also recently appeared on Mock The Week (BBC 1) in July and Big Brother’s Big Mouth (Channel 4 ) in August.

The ‘Out Out’ Tour will continue in to 2011. Please check www.mickyflanagan.com for new dates.
