Gerry Carroll - YOUNG

An Ordinary Man, A Hero of the Land of the Young. A solo clown odyssey written and performed by Gerry Carroll (age 73 and not slowing down). Long ago, the warrior-poet Oisín rode off with the golden-haired Niamh to Tír na nÓg – the Land of the Young, where time stands still. Three hundred years later he came home... and instantly turned into a wrinkly old man. Gerry has a soul-crushing office job, discovers clown and comedy, and explores what it’s like when you slowly turn into a wrinkly old man. What happens when we leave the Land of the Young? In this joyous and unexpectedly moving hour, Gerry weaves the ancient Irish legend of Oisín with his own life story – with song, dance, clowning, stand-up, a few too many shot glasses, and buckets of laughter. It’s funny. It’s touching. Because growing old is inevitable, but growing up is optional. Be 21 again! Bring your granny, bring your inner child, bring a shot glass if you dare. Book now – seats are going faster than Oisín’s youth!
