Then to end the month on a high note we have the acclaimed one-man show, Frank Carson: Rebel without a Pause, written and performed by Dan Gordon.
The show takes us on a journey with Frank from his Belfast boyhood – where life was so tough even the arms on the chairs had tattoos – through his adventures in the army, and into the world of showbiz where he entertained Royalty, delighted Pope John Paul II and never forgot where he came from.
A whirlwind comedy drama celebrating the man, the myth and the mouth – it’s a cracker!
