Details

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 alphabetti spaghetti is a luxury and a bottle of black tower the height of sophistication. 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. What Chance Change? is the story about Micky’s life and the journey he’s taken from the mean streets of the East End to the leafy lanes of East Dulwich. It’s 1980: Micky feels trapped and angry, working as a porter in Billingsgate fish market, living in the East End. It's now 2007: Micky is slightly upset at the cost of a latte, working as a stand-up comic and living in pretentious East Dulwich. Over twenty five years he's gone from Sunblest to pannini, tabloids to broadsheets, the street party to the dinner party. Travel, countless jobs, a belated higher education, and women have all played their part. Join him on the journey...
