Admin

Imagine if people knew your deepest, darkest secrets. Wouldn't it be awful? Humiliating? Degrading? It would be if you'd done some of the things Al Donegan has. Using a heady mix of storytelling, theatre and mime, Al will dig deep into his past. Maybe by revealing the truth, he can leave it behind him. Or maybe he'll be banished from society forever and forced to live in a bin, or a prison, or High Wycombe. Own up to yours #worstthingidid. Best worst thing every day wins free tickets.

The Al Donegan three minute interview

Imagine if people knew your deepest, darkest secrets. Wouldn't it be awful? Humiliating? Degrading? It would be if you'd done some of the things Al Donegan has. For his latest Edinburgh Festival Fringe outing, Al will dig deep into his past.

More details

The stand-up comic, actor and former scoundrel/philanderer/chancer presents his painfully honest debut show at the Edinburgh Fringe.

Imagine if people knew your deepest, darkest secrets. Wouldn't it be awful? Humiliating? Degrading? It would be if you'd done the things Al Donegan has. Maybe by revealing the truth, Al can leave his past behind him. Or maybe he'll be banished from society forever and forced to live in a bin, or a prison, or High Wycombe.

Using a heady mix of storytelling, theatre and MIME, Al will dig deep into his past. No stone is left unturned. You will cry with laughter, then wonder if you laughed because you're a bad person. You are.

The following topics may or may not be covered:

International smuggling - dos and don'ts
Group sex etiquette (group sexiquette)
The correct response to losing a million pounds
How not to get ahead in business
The Christmas faux-pas

BE WARNED - some of these 5 things are genuinely really bad. They are also hilarious.

Social Media Competition

Audiences in Edinburgh are invited to share stories of the worst things they have done, using Facebook and Twitter on the hashtag #worstthingidid. The best stories each day will win free tickets to Al's show.
