John Kearns to tour in 2018
- John Kearns is to tour the UK in 2018 with his latest show
- He will perform Don't Worry, They're Here in various venues between January and May 2018
John Kearns is to tour the UK in 2018 with his critically acclaimed show Don't Worry They're Here.
His promoters confirm: "The only winner of both the Best Show and Best Newcomer Edinburgh Comedy Awards, John Kearns is taking his new bold, funny and thought-provoking show, directed by Jon Brittain, on tour in 2018 after a successful sold out run at the Soho Theatre."
Don't Worry, They're Here is billed as a comic, heart-warming monologue "that highlights the absurdities of the ordinary."
The tour organisers explain: "This is a stand-up routine of someone who has the everyday worries of the common man in a small world, but who is unusually insistent in expressing them. Rooted in the seemingly mundane conversations with his local cafe owner and a story about a bet he placed at the bookies, Kearns springboards from the minutia in British culture into an exploration of universal fears and human emotion.
"With a show that travels from a massage parlour, to a supermarket check-out and then to a horse racing track, this fast-paced comedy tour de force, is an emotional yet hilarious story that highlights the fragility and absurdity of life."
A full list of tour dates are below.
