Dave O'Neil in Don't call me boomer!

Dave O'Neil as seen on Spicks and Specks (69 appearances!) and 'Fisk' returns with a brand new stand-up show. He's sick of being called a Boomer when he's in fact Gen X. Ok sure he's 60 now and yes his life involves colonoscopies, podiatrist appointments and soft food, but hey, he gets to sit on the special seat on the bus. A cackfest of the highest proportions! 

"O'Neil is a comedy juggernaut, a never ceasing volley of rapid wit"  ★★★★★ Theatre Matters

Presented by: party pie productions
