Kieran Hodgson – The Tales of Kieran Hodgson

Nominee: Foster’s Edinburgh Comedy Awards – Best Show 2015

Following on from two consecutive Edinburgh Comedy Award nominations for Best Show for his thrilling and genre-defining shows Lance and Maestro, Kieran Hodgson returned to the Edinburgh Fringe in 2018 with Berk’s Nest to claim his third much deserved nomination. ’75 was undeniably one of last year’s buzziest and best reviewed shows and was also the second to sell out its entire run by the end of the first week of the festival. Kieran then proceeded to sell out seven extra shows in the Pleasance Forth and Beneath. Kieran is now bringing ’75 back to the Fringe for a limited run thanks to incredible demand into one of the biggest rooms at the Pleasance Beyond. But that’s not all! He will also be performing his equally successful, brilliant and much-loved shows Lance, Maestro, and the one that kicked off his Edinburgh Fringe acclaim, French Exchange. All four shows will play in rotation, with three performances of each. ?75 follows the story of Kieran’s attempts to mend a broken relationship with his mother following 2016’s referendum, delving into how we came to be in Europe in the first place. Expect history, hilarity and some uncanny impersonations as Kieran journeys through the library books to discover what Europe really means.
