EDDIE NAESSENS

10 Days in Dublin presents

EDDIE NAESSENS

– Live from the Parlour Bar – 

7:30pm – 9pm

Ever looked at the world and found that it reminds you of people you know? Inspired by Tom Cruise hanging off a cliff, Rhianna liking bad boys, and a world that seems to be constantly craving our attention, Eddie Naessens presents a new-hour of stand-up comedy about approval. The following topics are worked over for your amusement and delight: Celebrity Culture, Religion, Relationships, Family, News Media, Irishness, Reality, The Irish and their relationship with reality, and of course some Q&A. Expect segues and detours away from the main ideas; Naessens would hardly be warm and engaging if he stuck to a script.

Directed by John Dawson, this show promises to be the kind of unmissable show that you’ll be glad you didn’t miss. Performeded in the elegant surrounds of the Mercantile on Dame Street, likely to sell out fast, it’s a no brainer – get tickets now!
