Hilarious comedy at The Met on the First Thursday of every month.
Featuring Dead Men Talking’s Freddy Quinne (“King of underground comedy” The Pulse), Sully O’Sullivan (“Fits of laughter” Channel 4), Sam Ayinde and MC Hayley Ellis (“Sharp, clever, and very funny” Sunday Post).
One half of the hit Dead Men Talking podcast Freddy Quinne absolutely hates writing about himself in the third person but needed to fill out this part of his website because sometimes promoters will use these bios and copy and paste them into their own comedy events when he is on. Including us. We are going to add that he is half-Manx and a very safe pair of comedic hands.
“King of underground comedy” The Pulse; “A natural comic” Manchester Wire; “Quality comedy” Fringe Review
Former Kiwi Sully O’Sullivan is a seasoned international headliner who has performed all over the world. First stepping onto the stage in his native New Zealand, Sully rocketed to stardom making his TV debut just seven months later in New Zealand’s cult stand-up series Pulp Comedy.
