I Was Dark And It Was Drunk - Marcus Keeley @ The Belfast Fringe 2011

Event information

Marcus Keeley is a stand-up, writer, poet, film-maker and general dissenter. He relays his estranged musings on contemporary life and his own personal failures including unemployment, disillusionment and self-hate in an irrepressibly cynical, deviant and charming fashion.

"Trademark ‘old beyond his years’ brand of disaffected wryness; one of the wittiest sets on the circuit." - Comedy Basement, Belfast

"Darkly funny, with all the bitter wisdom of a reborn Philip Larkin" - Big Laughs, Belfast

"Bard Of The Bar" Poetry Slam Winner, Belfast Book Festival 2011

PLUS SUPPORT FROM

LORCAN McGRANE

Lorcan McGrane is originally from Monaghan, if fact he is still from there. He started stand up in 2006 while doing a PhD on Superhero Movies and has foisted his perversions and peccadilloes on an unsuspecting public in Norwich, London, Edinburgh, Dublin, Monaghan, Derry, and Belfast, with success, if by success one means making people laugh, rather than parlaying his brand of veiled self-therapy, blasphemy, gauging of audience’s perversity levels, and childhood (and adulthood) existential loneliness into a viable job.

SÉAMUS FOX

All-Ireland Poetry Champion 09 Séamus Fox has been delighting literary and comedic audiences all over the country for the past number of years and has become an occasional favourite of comedy clubs. His honesty and passion are not lost through the humour of his poetry which can range from fleeting single stanza quips to full blown hip-hop epics.

Doors: 7:30pm / Show: 8:30pm / £3 Entry / Bring Your Own
