Roger O'Sullivan performs Divil May Cry, a 60-minute solo stand-up show at Monkey Barrel 2, Edinburgh Festival Fringe. Raised in rural Ireland to believe that ambition is a mortal sin, O'Sullivan now finds himself in a world where Irish identity is trending and authenticity is valued — and wonders whether there is a place for a peasant boy with a gift for funny stories. The show earned him a nomination for Best Newcomer at the Edinburgh Comedy Awards and the winner's title at the Comedian's Choice Award.
Why see this show?
O'Sullivan brings a sharp perspective from the intersection of Irish rural upbringing and contemporary identity culture. The tension between inherited shame about ambition and a world suddenly celebrating exactly those roots gives Divil May Cry a genuinely distinctive angle.
