MICKY FLANAGAN | Edinburgh Comedy Award nominee
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. Micky has come a long way since then, thanks to a university education he is now a rare delight – an intellectual cockney.
Headline act at The Comedy Store, Jongleurs, The Glee Club, The Monday Club, The Stand and The Boat Show…
Micky Flanagan had his own half hour special for the Paramount Comedy Channel aired autumn 08.
And a Radio 4 half hour special, What Chance Change? aired January 09.
"Micky’s take on his working-class East End background is side-splitting..." THE SUNDAY TIMES
"Astonishingly good – a cockney extraordinaire and cracking stand- up." TIME OUT
“Micky Flanagan was the highlight of the evening. He told the tales with animation and style. He was confident, assured and the audience was with him all the way. Micky Flanagan was the funniest man on the floor.” BBC.CO.UK
"The charming Micky Flanagan is very confident and even enigmatic, he uses pace and silence with skill and has a strong physicality." THE STAGE
"Micky is the very embodiment of the cheeky, chirpy Cockney, and his chatty, effervescent delivery engages the most reticent of rooms. The infectious energy is also heightened by his exaggerated, almost camp, reactions. It all makes for a rambunctious set that's sometimes rude, sometimes thoughtful, but rarely short of hilarious."
