He's bringing fellow Mancunian wordsmith Mike Garry with him

Our old pal John Cooper Clarke returns to Ireland next month for shows in the Festival Marquee, Belfast (May 3); Source Arts Centre, Thurles (4) and The Pavilion Theatre, Dun Laoghaire (5).
Joining him will be Mike Garry, another Mancunian who’s super dexterous with his words and masterminded last year’s amazing tribute to Anthony H. Wilson.
