O'Kaning It

Comedic fireball Deirdre O'Kane is mad for road, mercilessly mining hilarity from the human condition. Will she conquer the chaos or revel in it? Tame the mayhem or O'Kane it? Either way you're in for a night of relentless laughs fuelled by warped personal insight.

'Unique star quality' (Guardian).
'O'Kane quickly sets up a rhythm of her own and when she exits, applause follows her all the way down the street' (Scotsman).
'She won the audience over from the moment she opened her mouth' (Metro).
