About Colman Hayes
Colman Hayes brings a loose, funny work-in-progress show to Hoot 6 at the Edinburgh Festival Fringe. The set draws on personal material about growing up Catholic, figuring out sex and wondering how he ended up like this. Blending jokes, stories and confusion, the show promises a degree of honesty that might, just possibly, lead somewhere close to closure. It runs for 45 minutes and is priced at £5.
Why see this show?
A refreshingly unpolished work-in-progress that trades on genuine personal material rather than a polished routine. For £5, Hayes's candid trawl through Catholic upbringing and sexual confusion is an honest bargain.
