2014 Edinburgh Fringe
A Kitchen Nightmare
Fightin' Irishman Mick Connor is desperate to settle down into a long-term feud. All his brothers and most of his cousins are already sorted, poor Mick just can't find the right person. His search takes him into the disparate realms of bare-knuckle boxing, am-dram and TV cookery shows, where he meets a host of extraordinary characters, most notably celebrity chef Gordon Ramsay. An exhilarating romp from comedian and impressionist Liam Hourican, as seen on Channel 4's Very Important People, The IT Crowd and RTE's The Savage Eye. 'A hilarious evening of fun' (WesternParkGazette.co.uk).

Irish comedian and impressionist Liam Hourican makes his Edinburgh Fringe debut with an exhilarating romp through the disparate realms of bareknuckle fighting, TV cookery shows and Am Dram.
Irish premier and bare-knuckle boxer Mick Connor has vowed to shake up the political establishment with his fists, but his private life is a mess. While all of his brothers and most of his friends are sorted, Mick just can't seem to find that special person to settle into a long term feud with. He embarks on a quest to find personal fulfilment and meets a host of extraordinary characters along the way, from Gordon Ramsay to Mickey Rourke.
Celebrity impressions and brilliant original characters come together in this hour long sketch show that played to full houses at Dave's Leicester Comedy Festival in February.
Liam Hourican has written and starred in two sketch shows for Channel 4, APE and iCandy, and appeared in Channel 4's impressions show Very Important People and The IT Crowd. He also starred in RTE's hugely popular The Savage Eye. He performs regularly on the London stand up circuit.
Tom Collinson is a writer/director and has made programmes for the BBC, ITV and Channel 4. He created, wrote and directed two series of the sitcom Self Storage for Radio 4 starring Reece Shearsmith and Mark Heap.
