Micky Flanagan

A professional stand-up since 1997, Micky Flanagan draws on his East End background as he ruthlessly deconstructs the Cockney myth with razor-sharp observational wit. He tells a comic tale of a working class upbringing, where alphabet spaghetti is a luxury. Micky has come a long way since then, thanks to a university education, and he is now that rare delight - an intellectual Cockney.

In 2001 he performed in the Big Value Comedy Show at the Edinburgh Fringe as one of four headline acts and in 2003 co-headlined a show with Nina Conti He performed his first full-length solo show, What Chance Change? in 2006 and in 2007 was nominated for Best Newcomer at the Edinburgh Comedy Awards.

Micky's unique brand of intelligent humour appeals to men and women equally, as he bemoans the lot of modern man in pursuit of the perfect idle day, and celebrates being turned away from a night club because his feet are killing him.

Micky Flanagan has built a reputation for reliably strong performances on the nationwide comedy circuit. He headlines all of the main venues including The Comedy Store, Lee Hurst¹s Backyard, Up the Creek, The Stand (both Edinburgh and Glasgow), Komedia, Banana, Bearcat, Hampstead Clinic and Ealing Broadway Comedy, etc.

Like many comics he appeared at The Edinburgh Fringe where he was nominated for The Edinburgh Comedy Award with his show What Chance Change? This became the basis for his Radio 4 series which led to TV and a show-stealing appearance at The Royal Variety Performance, for which he was nominated for the Best Breakthrough Act at the British Comedy Awards.

Micky’s TV credits include appearances on Michael McIntyre’s Comedy Roadshow and Live At The Apollo.
