Following its highly successful Edinburgh Fringe Festival run, Sean Hughes brings his Penguins show to Dublin’s Liberty Hall Theatre on April 10. Tickets priced €25 are on sale now.

In it, Hughes takes us back to his upbringing and the, at times, utter awkwardness of teenage life, which he’s still struggling to come to terms with.
Reckoned by those in the comedy know to be his best work since the Perrier Award-winning A One Night Stand, Penguins also touches down in The MAC, Belfast (9) and An Taibhdhearc, Galway (11).
