Irish Comedian Vs American Death Penalty
Fresh from a sell out run at Edinburgh Comedy Festival, Cruel and Unusual is a unique stand-up show and the story of comedian Keith Farnans crusade against the death penalty. From law school in Ireland to the Innocence Project in New York city; meeting with, Sr. Helen Prejean of Dead Man Walking fame, to a Public Defenders office in Georgia could it be possible that the Irish might just be the only people in the world who can stop the death penalty in America?
As close to a reincarnated pre-Black Books Dylan Moran as we’re likely to see nowadays…If Eddie Izzard had been Irish, he’d surely have turned out a lot like Keith Farnan. The Scotsman
