About the show
Liam Farrelly brings his third full run to the Edinburgh Festival Fringe with a stand-up hour titled You Need to Shut Up. At just 25, he has had a busy couple of years: starring in Live at the Apollo, having his first child, and getting married. The show channels his view that most people need to shut up — and the best way to prove it is to make you sit down and listen to him for 60 minutes. Performed at Stand 2, it carries an age guidance of 16+ and contains strong language.
Why see this show?
Farrelly channels a major life chapter — fatherhood, marriage, TV — into a tight 60-minute set with plenty of laughs. His third Fringe run shows he knows how to work a room, and at £9 it is an easy bet for a good night out.
