'The next great Irish comedian' Rolling Stone

A love story about how a working-class Catholic (or “Good Guy” as they call themselves) who grew up during a war in Northern Ireland, tries to get over the lessons he learned to get tough and survive when he meets and falls for a stunningly beautiful, privately educated, Middle Eastern Muslim lady who needs more than the strong silent type.

‘A furious, tender, brutal, loving and most of all hilarious hour that confounds your presumptions at every turn’
Rolling Stone

Directed by comedy sensation Vittorio Angelone, Big Year played to sold-out crowds and critical acclaim at Edinburgh fringe 2024.
