Andrew O’Neill’s History of Heavy Metal
What is Heavy Metal? What does it taste like? Does it hurt?
Andrew O'Neill answers all the questions you were afraid to ask the big hairy men in that pub you've always avoided. Whether you're a committed headbanger or the type of person that wouldn't know Napalm Death if they were squatting your garden shed, this show is hugely funny and massively entertaining.
Combining stand-up comedy with live music played on his customised Flying V guitar, O'Neill paints a picture of a subculture and history that has rocked the world.
Even heads that do not bang will hugely enjoy this Heavy Metal 101 by one of the world's most original and consistently hilarious stand-up comedians (nominated for Best Show at Dave's Leicester Comedy Festival).
Andrew O’Neill Is Trapped Down A Well
Andrew O'Neill has had a lot of time to think. He is trapped down a well.
This is not a metaphor.
Expect meditations on politics, philosophy, culture and once a day a bucket comes down.
The funniest show yet by the country's most genuinely alternative comedian. Who is trapped down a well.
I cannot over-emphasise, this is not a metaphor.
‘An increasingly distinctive, imaginative act... brilliant, genuinely unexpected lines are added to the mix.’
Chortle
‘One of the funniest comedians on the circuit at the moment... hitting new heights of comedic brilliance.’
TimeOut
‘He's got a natural optimism and love of silliness that leaves you feeling remarkably positive... a winning blend of polemic and off-beat whimsy.’
The Guardian
‘One of the most entertaining, interesting and multilayered acts we've seen. Don't miss a trick – go and see him now.’
Bizarre
‘A cleverly-plotted, side-splitting narrative... and a twist on a par with Douglas Adams. An industrial-strength comedy.’
**** Three Weeks
‘Equal parts cerebral humour and downright absurdism... this is comedy for the unapologetically nerdy, and all the better for it.’
**** The Dubliner
‘Andrew O'Neill is like comedy ball-lightning. Fast, electrifying and even funnier than the misfortunes of others.’
Alan Moore
‘His finely-tuned jokes are a joy to behold.’
**** Metro
‘Clever comedy for those who like their laughs original, off-kilter and cliché-free.’
