Manchester’s own grumpy young man , Michael J Dolan, brings his first solo show, “Dressed to Depress,” to the Edinburgh Festival.
Paranoid, emotionally fragile and a border line recluse, Dolan runs the full gauntlet of human emotion; from self- loathing through to all the other kinds of loathing. In his debut show at the Edinburgh Fringe, he promises to make you laugh at the sheer awfulness of absolutely everything, from time travel and the ghosts of supposedly living celebrities to the idiots you share your life with, your stupid friends and dreadful family.
He spits out his fury at the injustices the world has dealt him, including suffocating relationships and the sorrows of quitting smoking all tempered with the occasional wry smile. Michael J Dolan is rapidly becoming one of the smartest new voices on the circuit, hot on the heels of being a finalist of the Leicester Mercury Comedian of the Year, he recently won a place in the semi-‐final of the BBC Radio2 New Comedy Awards.
