About Kevin McNulty
Half-Orphan is a solo comedy and storytelling show from Kevin McNulty, performed at Studio Four during Edinburgh Festival Fringe. Armed with absurd charts, childhood photos and real funeral footage, Kevin sets out to prove — objectively — which tragedy in his life is the funniest and therefore most worth building a one-person show around. The show contains discussion of death.
Why see this show?
A bold and unusual premise — trying to rank your own tragedies for comic value — and the kind of show that only works when the performer has real warmth. The absurd charts alone suggest Kevin McNulty knows exactly what he's doing.
