Controversal Irish comedian to laugh it up in Soho

Submitted by Rachel McGovern on Thursday, 20 May 2010One Comment

Have you ever seen a comedian who has been endorsed by Osama bin Laden? If that intrigues you, then one of the performers billed for tomorrow night’s stand-up show in the Soho Comedy Club might be your cup of tea.

Philbin Bowman mixes controversial politics with razor sharp wit.

Abie Philbin Bowman is an Irish comedian who does not shy away from controversial politics in his humour. His first show, Jesus: the Guantanamo Years, queried what would happen if Jesus came back to earth now – after wandering out of a cave in Palestine and telling the authorities that he is a religious fundamentalist. Imprisonment and hilarity ensue.

On January 30, 2010, Al Jazeera released an audiotape, supposedly from the Al Qaeda leader, which blamed the US for climate change. As Abie told audiences a week later: “He’s effectively calling for ‘Eco-Friendly Jihad’ – but if Al Qaeda is so concerned about climate change, why do they repeatedly bomb public transport?”

International politics, religion, the US war on terrorism – Philbin Bowman flits lightly across major issues and has the audience following his irreverant take on major issues. His latest show, Sex, Lies and the Ku Klux Klan, was well recieved in Brighton and he has agreed to take the mic at the Soho club’s stand-up night on his way through town.

If The Daily Show is your idea of a good time, check out the Soho Comedy Club this Friday.
