Chris Kent Offline
Cork’s own Chris Kent returns with a brand-new show Offline. He tries to give up the internet and navigate life without asking his phone what to eat, where to go or how to get home. He longs for a simpler time of playing ‘Snake’ and constructing emojis himself. Now that he has hit 40 years of age, he wonders if he can ever go back to thinking for himself. Join him on a journey that will either make him or break him.
“Kent is a master storyteller” – The Times
“He really makes me laugh and I think his stuff is so smart, he would be one of the best comics that I would have seen. He’s Fantastic” – Tommy Tiernan “Carefree comedic bullseye” - Dubliner Magazine
