Eddie Mularkey puts a whimsical Irish twist on good old fashioned stand-up comedy. Heavily reliant on crowd work, this show could be a hit or miss depending on the decided wit of the audience. Risky, but high risk, high reward.
Despite a few Americans in the corner who struggled with the concept of staying quiet for an hour, the luck was in Mularkey’s favour with a very game crowd.
Mixing questionable Irish proverbs with his dalliance as a wedding DJ, the show was a perfect blend between his Irish roots and the new threat of Artificial Intelligence taking everyone’s jobs.
The initial crowd work at the opening of the show gets incorporated throughout, adding a fluency to the stand-up routine, with the Irish proverbs constantly circled back to as he retells, in small snippets, the story of his wedding.
Eddie Mularkey is definitely an Irish talent to watch, with his personable charm and inviting audience participation making for a fun filled hour of stand-up comedy.
