CCCahoots comedian to debut solo show at Dublin Fringe Festival

CCCahoots are one of the most popular comedy acts in Ireland at the moment.

Their sketches regularly go viral and their live shows selling out around the country.

Now, creative director of the trio Tadhg Hickey is branching out on his own.

Fans of CCCahoots can expect the same sharp wit and hilarious antics in Hickey's first solo show, In One Eye, Out The Other.

The show will debut at this year's Dublin Fringe Festival this September.

Hickey describes the show as "a weird and wonderful part theatre, part stand-up comedy show".

In One Eye, Out The Other tells the story of Feargal, a downtrodden but cheery man who fulfilled his lifelong dream of becoming an alcoholic.

We follow Feargal on a surreal and hilarious journey with many poignant twists in the hope of arriving at a sort of light at the end of the tunnel.

Hickey is no stranger to the theatre as he previously co-wrote and performed the play Love All for which The Scotsman said he is "an outstanding physical and comedic performer".

Last year, Hickey wrote, starred in and directed the RTÉ sitcom The School.
