I
have only seen Owen O'Neill in straight plays, 'Twelve Angry Men'
and 'One flew over the Cuckoos Nest', Geoff has seen him as either
compere of a best of Irish or doing a 15 min slot. I decided it
was about time to see his one man show this year called 'Chasing
my Tail'.
It
contains the best excerpts from his shows over the past few years.
Starting with him as a six-year-old boy living n an estate where
they had outside dry toilets emptied when necessary in the Irish
equivalent of a midden which occasionally had to be emptied by the
council. His observational humour is both interesting and amusing,
the show changes from day to day depending on his mood and
Audience reaction.
Today’s
culminated in his relationship with Mick Jagger!
Owen
is also appearing in the odd couple, with Alan Davis and Bill
Bailey, Assembly @ Assembly Hall August 5th to 29th
at
15.15
