Terry Christian performs his stand-up show at Stand 2 as part of the Edinburgh Festival Fringe, presented by Fair Pley and The Stand Comedy Club. The show is a candid and comedic look back at his working-class, immigrant Catholic upbringing, covering Catholicism, Madchester, The Word, Hollywood stars, and celebrity. Growing up in Moss Side with Old Trafford's gangs, sadistic nuns, and paedophile priests as backdrop, Christian examines the guilt and belligerence of that world. The show runs 60 minutes and is strictly for those aged 18 and over.
Why see this show?
A bracingly honest hour from a broadcaster who has lived a story worth telling — working-class, Irish Catholic, Madchester, all of it. Biting and funny in a way that only comes from knowing exactly what you're talking about.
