Hold Yer Tongue is not a standup show but a hybrid of poetry and storytelling from award-winning writer and performer Owen O’Neill.

Owen is the winner of two Fringe Firsts at the Edinburgh Festival, Best Actor at off Broadway Irish Festival and recipient of The New York critics award for Best Play.

He has published three books of poetry and written plays for the stage and screen. He adapted The Shawshank Redemption for the stage in 2015 and it is currently on a number one tour of the UK and North America.

I was simultaneously completely helpless with laughter and moved to tears.

O’Neill’s poems and stories are both poignant and hilarious. The highlight of the festival.

Culture Northern Ireland

O’Neill’s poems are like an emotional ambush.
