Ed Tripp – No Man is an Ireland

Please note this show is now unreserved seating

“No Man is an Ireland is a surreal, genre-bending, standup poetry show, performed by award-winning Northern Irish comedian and former Bard of Exeter, Edward Tripp.

Ed ponders his cultural identity through the mediums of story-telling and prop-heavy stand-up poetry.

Featuring defrosted wives, visits from Uncle Connor (who isn't in the IRA) and at least one unforgettable tribute to the late Lady Diana. If you enjoy spoken-word poetry, this is the show for you. If you dislike spoken-word poetry, this is probably the show for you too. Expect the unexpected...and hold on tight”

"Seek Edward out like buried treasure" - Spencer Jones, Comedian and Actor

"Utterly unexpectable and very moreish" - Kate Copstick, The Scotsman

"Alan Bennett meets The Blair Witch Project" - Wil Adamsdale, Comedian and Actor

"Absurd and Hysterical, he had the audience in stitches" - Razz Magazine

"Tripp doesn't so much straddle or have one foot in the camps of comedy and storytelling, but instead finds perfect harmony between them - each element of humour extenuating the spoken word, each poetic structure lifting stories to new heights. Tripp's poetic moments are a treat, cohesive and engaging, and for newcomers, is the finest introduction to the marvels of spoken word" - Corr Blimey

"Speaking as a zookeeper - that was the most accurate impression of a turtle eating lettuce I have ever seen" - Jenna Crawford, audience member (and Zookeeper).
