Comedian Chris Kent is heading to the Canal Court Hotel in Newry this weekend with his 'Offline' show.
Chris heads for Newry this Friday 31 January, 8pm at the Canal Court. Hailing from ‘The Rebel County’ (That’s Cork for anyone outside Ireland), Chris gave up the day job as an electrician to pursue his calling in comedy. He emerged onto the Irish comedy scene after winning the Bulmers Nuttin’ But Funny competition.
In 2010 Chris made his debut at one of Ireland’s biggest comedy festivals in Dublin’s Iveagh Gardens. His compelling storytelling then went on to win him the Comedy Smack Down Award at the Galway Comedy Festival later that year.
He quickly established himself on the Irish circuit and became sought out to open for some of his favourite acts, including Dylan Moran, David O’ Doherty, PJ Gallagher and Neil Delamare to name but a few.
Chris Kent returns with a brand new show ‘Offline’. He tries to give up the internet and navigate life without asking his phone what to eat, where to go or how to get home. He longs for a simpler time of playing ‘Snake’ and constructing emojis himself. Now that he has hit 40 years of age, he wonders if he can ever go back to thinking for himself. Join him on a journey that will either make him or break him.
The Irish Times: “Kent is a master storyteller”
The Mirror Dubliner Magazine: “Carefree comedic bullseye”
Tommy Tiernan: “He really makes me laugh and I think his stuff is so smart, he would be one of the best comics that I would have seen. He's Fantastic"
