It is remarkable that Out Of His Head is Risteárd Cooper’s first solo stand-up show – especially as he has been a fixture of Irish comedy since co-creating Après Match in the late 1990s. #GCF26 audiences know they will be in for a treat, though, as Out Of His Head will showcase Risteárd’s trademark razor-sharp impressions, sketches, and absurd imaginings as he examines the current state of the world. Asking such big questions as: What is happening? Why is it happening? Where did it all go wrong? And who cares? Expect a dizzying mix of skits and various personalities from TV, the media, arts, entertainment, and sport.
