Billy Kirkwood • Professional company
About Billy Kirkwood
Billy Kirkwood brings Mayhem to the Beehive 1 (The Comedy Tent) — a fast, funny and often filthy show that bursts with positivity, frantic observations and improv comedy energy. Sitting halfway between stand-up, cabaret and a night out with an ADHD-riddled pal, the show is filled with hysterical stories of life, dodging death, Disneyland, kids, ghosts, old goths and growing up in Scotland. There is no plan, just Mayhem. Audiences can expect strong language and participation.
Why see this show?
An hour of anarchic comedy that refuses to follow a script — Billy Kirkwood's frantic, genuinely positive energy makes it feel like a night out rather than a performance. Best enjoyed without a plan of your own.
