INTERNATIONAL award winning comedian and storyteller Patrick Monahan brings two hilarious shows to Lighthouse in Poole at the end of the month.

Beginning at 3pm on May 31, Patrick presents Stand-up Stories & Tales For Kids Who Run Faster Than Snails, an energy packed and fun filled, brand new family show – a colourful mish-mash of stand-up, story-telling, music and movement.

Patrick’s rapport with children is heart-warming – he always has them giggling and clapping along with delight.

At 8pm he stages his brand new show for 2011 Patrick Monahan On Tour. His 2010 show ‘I Walked, I Danced, I ran’ was a sell-out success.

Patrick is best known for TV appearances including The Sorcerer’s Apprentice, Armstrong & Miller Show and The Paul O’Grady Show and is a superb anecdotal comedian.

Having been brought up in Middlesborough by his Iranian Mother and Irish Dad he has many hilarious and engaging stories about his heritage.

Tickets for the children’s show are £7 plus concessions and £12 plus concessions for the adult performance. Call 0844 406 8666.
