Expect a Mouthful from Jake
FOLLOWING hot on the heels of the critically-acclaimed Tear Gas, Jake O’Kane returns to the stage, and this time he’s going to give you a Mouthful!
Where Tear Gas covered growing up and surviving the Troubles, Jake’s latest show Mouthful covers everything else.
Jake will be taking a no-nonsense approach to relationships and religion, modern life to being ginger, and everything else in between with his unique brand of observational humour and astute take on social commentary.
“There’s no talk of Troubles, no talk of politics, just good, old-style stand-up,” says Jake of his new show.
He added: “I’ve got a fair bit of mileage out of the Olympics, boxers, our wonderful golfers, and then more mileage out of all the topics standups usually talk about, relationships, religion, modern life... and being ginger.”
The north Belfast comedian, who first stepped up to the mic at The Empire in 1993, ‘decommissioned’ his Troubles materials with his 2010 Tear Gas show at the favourite comedy venue, going over al his tried and tested gags about rioting, balaclavas, Ian, Peter, Gerry, Martin, barricades and security checks, the Irish language and paramilitary murals - both sides of the divide, to his immense credit, satirised with equal focus.
New show Mouthful sounds broad in reach and O’Kane is happy to deliver something that allows for meandering observations.
* Jake O’Kane brings his Mouthful tour to The Braid, Ballymena, on April 5, and The Old Courthouse, Antrim, on April 6.
