Terry Alderton’s stand-up is unlike any I’ve seen before – one minute he’s doing ‘straight’ stand-up, the next, multiple characters (all performed by him) are all talking and fighting with each other, then he might just stop the show and take an imaginary phone call. The audience never knows what Terry is going to do next, and as Terry admits to me in our conversation, neither does he! Not only do we chat about comedy and his love of performing for Irish audiences, he also shares great stories about boxer Nigel Benn (he once threatened to ‘break’ Terry), Ronnie Whelan (Terry played for him while a goalie in Southend Utd, Mick McCarthy (who told Terry to F-off) and many others. We also get in to some really interesting personal stuff too. Terry will be performing at the 2021 Galway Comedy Festival from October 20th to 22nd – if you’re reading this on time, please do yourself a favour and go to see this man!! https://www.galwaycomedyfestival.ie/Enjoy!
