MEET A RISING COMEDY STAR …
GEARÓID FARRELLY
TURBULENCE (THE PREVIEWS)
A message from Gearóid:
Turbulence is my (Gearóid Farrelly – proper comedian) stand-up show about life's little bumps that stress you (me) out. All the big stresses will be covered. Break-ups, morbid fear of hen and stag nights, childhood addiction to Kinder Surprise eggs, school reunions, sibling rivalry.
These shows are previews so I'll be fluffing my jokes and effing at the audience, blaming everyone but myself.
Sound like craic? Well, come along!
