Stephen Carlin: Post Rational Carlin

A greatest hits show with a difference. Stephen is retelling some of his classic routines of the last ten years but with the benefit of hindsight and 20:20 vision. Retelling the routines from the point of view of the new improved 2019 Stephen Carlin. A wiser, more self aware Carlin. But who ever said self awareness was a good thing anyway?

Chosen as one of Stewart Lee’s “Ten Best Stand Up Comedians Ever”, Carlin has supported Stewart Lee, Stephen Merchant, Felix Dexter and most recently, Tom Stade on their national tours. Carlin has acquired a growing fan base and critical acclaim for his original, insightful material and accomplished delivery. This married with his exceptional turn of phrase and brilliantly opinionated broadsides make for memorable routines. All skilfully delivered in trademark deadpan Scottish brogue. His popularity is growing internationally with a international tour across South Africa and the Far East.

“If this man isn’t a household name in five years time, the world is even more lacking in justice than we could have feared” - Scotsman
