With his distinctive accent and brilliant gags Micky Flanagan has steadily made a name for himself as one of the top comedians in the UK. You may have seen him on shows such as Comedy Rocks, Mock The Week, Channel4 Comedy Gala or Live at the Apollo. He has also toured Britain with his stand-up shows.
Here are some funny quotes by him. Further down are some clips to watch also.
- My wife’s middle-class, she’s been skiing and everything.
- I’ve worked out what ambiance is. It’s a night out without poor people basically isn’t it.
- [in friends voice] “I spent a year surrounded by people with no hope and no future”. [own voice] I said “well we could’ve come straight into the Wetherspoons really couldn’t we”.
- My wife decided, she said “we are having sex on a Tuesday” she said. Well I thought that’s great because now I know I can leave myself alone, you know what I mean. Because you can get caught out, she comes in a bit frisky, and you have to look at her and go (shakes head) “that ship has sailed darling”.
Here are some videos of him in action. The first is a stand-up routine, the second is on the BBC show Mock The Week. Unfortunately the first one is only in 360p so the quality isn’t the best.
Want to know more about Micky? Well he is from London, and lived in America for a year as a young man. He has been performing since 1997. His fame has continued to rise and he has appeared on Mock The Week, Comedy Rocks, Live at the Apollo, Channel4 Comedy Gala, Royal Variety Performance.
