John Meagher: Big Year

  • Hyde Park Book Club 27-29 Headingley Lane Leeds, LS6 1BL United Kingdom (map)

Tickets HERE

Directed by comedy sensation Vittorio Angelone; “Big Year” was one of the breakout shows of the Edinburgh Fringe 2025, receiving critical acclaim and playing to sold out crowds. 


"Big Year" is a love story about how a working class Catholic (or "Good Guy" as they call themselves) from Northern Ireland, and a privately educated Middle Eastern Muslim can get together and figure out a way through their differences to (hopefully) live happily ever after!


Rolling Stone magazine picked it as one of their stand out shows of the year, saying ‘This is a furious, tender, brutal, loving and most of all hilarious hour that confounds your presumptions at every turn’, and called John ‘The next great Irish Comedian’
