The London-born, Firhouse-raised comedian's latest show has been praised by critics as his best since the Perrier Award-winning A One Night Stand.

Dealing primarily with a subject we can all relate to, the awkwardness of one's adolescent years, Penguins' Irish opening is a must for Dublin resident comedy aficionados.

Tickets for the Project show (tonight, April 10) are still available and priced at €25. All those in need of a laugh elsewhere in the country need not fear, Hughes will also be playing An Taibhdhearc, Galway on Friday, April 11.
