About Ciaran Franco
A Good Time Charlie is Ciaran Franco's debut stand-up show at the Edinburgh Festival Fringe. Ciaran grew up wanting to be the lad everyone had a pint with — instead, he ended up with OCD, a head full of nonsense and the creeping fear that he's past his sell-by date. The show is a funny look at bad brains, worse decisions and what happens when the craic runs out but your head won't shut up. Performed at Just The Spare Room, it is suitable for ages 16 and over.
Why see this show?
Honest, relatable comedy about OCD and the gap between who you wanted to be and who you turned out to be. A compact 45-minute set from an emerging voice at an accessible price.
