Hot on the heels of last year’s sell-out tour, ‘Mouthful’, Northern Ireland’s finest comic, Jake O’Kane, is back!

In his inimitable style, Jake takes no prisoners as he deals with the good, the bad and the ugly of 2015.

Best known for the infamous ‘flegs’ piece on BBC’s The Blame Game, Jake weaves stories, current news & photos to give his take on the people, places and politics that made up the year.
