What Chance Change?

Mickey Flanagan

"I can't walk past a misty window and not put genitalia on it!" Not one to mince his words, Flanagan thrills, hysterically recounting his rise from East End slum to Kierkegaard quoting 'made-it'. A slow start lays the groundwork, before he bounds into the swing of it, pumping out the punch lines. 'Success' in the 80s as an international play boy, anecdotes of endearing, if somewhat misled, attempts at sexcapades and prawn cocktails, and the joys of a £500 pram in a Somerfields' buggy race are just a few highlights. Flanagan’s piercing look across the classes brings intimately personal new life to this worn theme. Juvenile, funny, honest and genuine fun, whichever side of the class divide you hail from. Just catch him before the bruschetta turns him!
