    Micky Flanagan

    Went to see Micky Fanagans new show last night in Southend, if your a fan you'll love his new material. Its not PC and very risky in the current climate. He's says he does not care! He indicated that if he does a major tour it may well be his last. For us in the South he's a bit of a national treasure, certainly one of the last old school comics still out there delivering humour. For me he's up there with Billy Connelly in his prime.

    Probably my favourite comic now Sean Locke is sadly not with us. Pushes the acceptable boundaries for sure, but for comedy, not purely an attempt to shock.

    I have never seen him live but would happily pay if he has a show in my area.

    Came across one of his shows late on over Christmas and i’ve honestly not laughed so much in ages! Will check out if he’s coming up this way.

    Saw him live in Belfast a few years ago, loved it. There was a couple in front of us left within the first 10 mins, obviously had no idea who they were going to see.

    Saw him in Birmingham years ago. I can’t understand these people who get up and walk out all disgusted, surely if you book tickets to see someone you’ve an idea of what’s likely to happen.

    He did a couple of work in progress shows at Portsmouth Guildhall back in November which I was fortunate enough to get tickets for.

    Micky was absolutely brilliant. The way he fed off the audience (and dealt with hecklers) was outstanding!

    I popped round to the stage door after the show and he was kind enough to stop for a chat and a picture - a very unassuming and down to earth person in the flesh.

    I went to his Work in Progress show too late last year & it was excellent. When he went off script & got lost in his stories it was hilarious. Very funny topics, not always pc, well worth a night out.

    Yeah got an alert for his shows there.
    Hopefully he’ll decide to take the show nationwide and i’ll get to see him.

    Don't have to be jealous anymore. My lovely Daughter has bought us some tickets for my birthday.

    I'm so happy to read this as we grabbed 2 tickets for the O2 to see him in a few months.

    We saw Peter Kay at the O2 last weekend and were pretty disappointed at his show overall. It was only saved by the final act, which was well put together, if not massively funny

    Real shame as we wanted to see him for years.

    Big hopes that Micky is a side splitter

    A friend and I saw Mickey Flanagan on his home turf in Bethnal Green many moons ago. He was third on the bill at Lee Hurst's Backyard Comedy Club and pretty much stole the show despite the best efforts of the boisterous and well-oiled audience. It was a year or so before he made it big and we still joke that we 'discovered' MF. Can't imagine seeing him in a huge venue.

    I’ve still not given up hope of getting tickets for Leeds but the prices have only gone up.

    Fantastic, will keep my eye on prices!
    Those seats look relatively close compared to the ones i’ve seen on sale for Leeds at exhorbitant prices!

    We were down on the floor just in of you. I haven’t laughed like that for a long time. I couldn’t get my phone to take a picture from inside the sealed bag though!
