Ciaran Shea: Your Worst Nightmare

Barley Twist · Nottingham

From dating witches, to getting high with Shrek, he's a muppet with some stories, so strap in. Up and coming Midland's comic, Ciaran Shea's first ever WIP show, brings together his love of film, a tragic track record in romance, and an incredible talent for disappointing his parents. He's performed alongside some comedy phenoms, and now Ciaran's first Work in Progress show is ready (sort of) with his trademark, quirky storytelling, and some unpredictable surprises in store. He's the funniest comic who sort of looks like Mr Bean, (if you squint), so what's not to love?
