Fight Night 10th Anniversary tour
One Chance.
One Shot.
Fight Night.
No Excuses.
Aonghus Óg McAnally returns with his era-defining smash hit solo show ‘Fight Night’ by Gavin Kostick for a 10th Anniversary nationwide tour, taking in 30 venues across 19 counties and all 4 provinces. Winner of both Best Actor and Bewley’s Little Gem awards at Dublin Fringe, and nominated Best New Play at the Irish Times Theatre Awards, ‘Fight Night’ is a gripping journey charting the comeback of Dan Coyle Jr, a failed amateur boxer. Living in the shadows of his overbearing father and his brother’s Olympic success, Dan lets his training slip in favour of girls and booze. Then, an incident with his father minutes before a crucial bout splinters the family and exiles Dan from the ring. It’s not until the birth of his own son years later that his competitive fire is reingnited, and he takes the first tentative steps on his road to redemption. This fast-paced and engaging solo performance combines intense physicality with a deeply emotional storytelling experience that will leave audiences both exhausted and exhilarated.
