Aidan Greene & Stephen Mullan Edinburgh Fringe Preview

Stephen Mullan: Yeah, Yeah, Yeah!

Did you just roll your eyes at me? Therapy methods as unconventional as her response "You get what you pay for". Childhood heartbreak and Bridget Jones movies in a busted macho world – sensitive Stevo is on an adventure of self-discovery to find out what love is, with a therapist who thinks his "head must be broken". A new charged-up hour from Ireland's favourite cheeky son guaranteed to make you howl with his silly yet cut-throat comedy.

'Beautifully goofy and electric' (Jason Byrne).

'Seriously f*cking funny' (Joanne McNally).

Stephen Mullan, Ireland’s most exciting new comedy act, honed his craft in the club circuit in London and having recently moved home, he has already shared the stage with the likes of David O’Doherty, Colin Murphy and head writer of Saturday Night Live, Michael Che.

The summer of 2018 saw him perform in Vicar Street, at the Vodafone Comedy Festival in the Iveagh Gardens and All Together Now.

Following on from the success of his debut hour-long show ‘Son of a Preacher Man’ at the Dublin Fringe Festival 2018, he performed it again at the First Fortnight Festival 2019 to great acclaim.

Aidan Greene: I Can't Believe It's Not Stutter!

Award-winning Irish comedian Aidan Greene has a stutter. So, you'd think it would be his dream come true for the pandemic to remove the need to speak from his life. Well, it was. But it quickly turned into a nightmare. Imagine The King's Speech but a lot more craic.

'A joy to behold' (Paste Magazine).

'A show which is as heartfelt as hilarious' ★★★★ (TheWeeReview.com).

'Aidan Greene clearly has a talent for comedy, and harnessing his gift has given him an authentic edge at this Edinburgh Festival Fringe' ★★★★ (Deadline.com).

Aidan Greene is undoubtedly Ireland’s foremost stammering comedian. Since stuttering his way into comedy in 2010 he’s become a regular headliner in comedy clubs across Ireland. He is also a regular performer at every major Irish comedy festival including the Vodafone Comedy Festival, Longitude, Indiependance and The Cat Laughs as well being a regular tour support for some of Ireland’s top comedians. From 2016 to 2019 Aidan had consecutive sell out runs with his solo shows “(500) Days of Stammer”, “Stutter Island”, “Eternal Sunshine of the Stammer Man” and “Did I Stutter?”. These shows were subsequently performed to acclaim in Dublin, Galway, Albuquerque, and Montreal. Last year he returned to the Edinburgh Fringe for another sold-out run with his show “I Know What You Did Last Stammer”. Following this he performed the show at the Dublin Fringe festival.

As well as a comedian Aidan is also an accomplished storyteller. In 2016 he was runner up in the Moth Grand Slam in Dublin. His story The Early Days of Stammer was featured on the Moth Radio Hour and was broadcast on over 400 radio stations globally, to a listenership of over 30 million. In 2017, he was invited to speak at National Stammering Awareness Day in Dublin about being a stuttering performer. Last year he hosted “The Stammies”: the British Stammering Associations first ever stammering awards. You can also see Aidan on the Try Channel, one of Ireland’s biggest YouTube Channels, which has over a million subscribers.
