|
|
| Date: Saturday 25 April and Saturday 23 May, 8pm Tickets: €25
Ages 16+
Hilarious Ballymunner Willa White has exploded in popularity over the past 18 months, quickly marking himself out as one of the biggest names in the Irish comedy circuit, and selling over 10,000 tickets to date. This year saw him sell out both the 3Olympia Theatre and the Gaiety – and we’re delighted to welcome him home to Axis. Dead Man Talking will see Willa explore his belief that he realistically should have been dead long before the family and friends who’ve gone before him, after attempting to take his own life in 1991.
Dead Man Talking will see Willa reflect on memories of those who have passed, and the fun times they shared on this rollercoaster we call life. |
