About this show

'Endlessly entertaining and outrageously funny' (Rolling Stone). 'Bloody brilliant' (Rosie Jones). 'Gaggy' (Chortle.co.uk). Co-writer for Chicken Shop Date. Tour support for Sophie Duker, Olga Koch and Urooj Ashfaq. BBC New Comedy Awards.

In a Fringe debut brimming with unfettered confidence, Dom McGovern brings home the bacon with a terse and versatile hour of hilarity that leaves the audience in fits of laughter. 4 Stars
Dominic McGovern has been around the comedy circuit for a while, but recently he seems to have seriously upped his game.
— Roviews (5 out of 5 stars)
Dom McGovern has the like-ability factor. His cheeky personality is much in evidence as he interacts with some audience members. He is quick witted and cheeky but never offends. 4 Stars
