Steve Bennett, Chortle, 2nd June 2017Micky Flanagan, review - worth every penny
The highest-earning comedian of 2016, thanks to the box-office stampede for this, his third arena tour, Micky Flanagan is, to borrow his own words, absolutely loaded. An' Another Fing begins with the cockney geezer fessing up to piles of filthy lucre.
Dominic Cavendish, The Telegraph, 19th May 2017During a hiatus from the biz, the cockney comic began looking at, in his words, "the big issues", and a new, sub-Karl Pilkington venture was born. In this first episode, Micky grapples with what gender means today through a series of tenuously linked encounters with, among others, the owner of a men-only barber's, a female wrestler and a transgender woman. The result prioritises weirdness over insight - and proper laughs.
