COCKNEY COMEDIAN MICKY FLANAGAN
ANNOUNCES GARRICK THEATRE SHOWS FOR AUTUMN 2011
** Tickets on sale now **
It’s been a great year for Micky. He has been successfully touring his brilliant ‘Out Out’ show around the UK since September 2010 to rave reviews, playing to increasingly bigger venues including four sold out nights at the Hammersmith Apollo in London this spring.
He’s appeared on The Royal Variety Performance, Live At The Apollo, Michael McIntyre‟s Roadshow, Have I Got News For You and Celebrity Mastermind (chosen subject... ‘The Boss’ - Bruce Springsteen). He recently brought the house down as part of the all star bill at Channel 4‟s Comedy Gala Live At The O2 alongside the likes of Lee Evans and Michael McIntyre as well as fronting his very own Radio 4 series, What Chance Change? in 2010.
Not a bad achievement for a former Billingsgate Market fish packer and window cleaner from Bethnal Green, now in the unique position of selling out some of the largest and most prestigious theatres around the country.
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’s most recent TV appearances include: The Royal Variety Performance (BBC ONE), Michael McIntyre’s Roadshow (BBC ONE), Live At The Apollo (BBC ONE), Have I Got News For You (BBC ONE), Celebrity Mastermind (BBC ONE), Mock The Week (BBC Two), Comedy Rocks (ITV1) Ask Rhod Gilbert (BBC ONE), Richard Bacon’s Beer & Pizza Club (ITV4), Edinburgh Fest Comedy Gala (BBC 3), Stand Up For The Week (Channel 4) plus his very own 30 minute special on Comedy Central.
Micky will be releasing his debut DVD (4DVD) this autumn. Pre-orders now from www.amazon.co.uk.
Catch Micky as a regular on the new series of Mock The Week currently on Thursday nights, BBC2.
