Edinburgh Fringe Festival Teaser 2009 - Shane Langan - Not Also, But Only

http://www.edfringe.com/ticketing/detail.php?id=14566

Once upon a time, in a small venue up some windy stairs, there was a little show about a murderous cat, a friendly vampire and some other things that happened.
Shane Langan, from last years Diet of Worms, Friends of the Puffincat, is your guide for an engaging and hilarious trip through beginnings, middles and ends.

Not Also, But Only is a year in the life of Shane Langan, aspiring writer. Too old now to be considered precocious and displaying a depressingly low level of the genius he always just assumed he possessed, Shane has found life as a writer (i.e. someone who doesnt do anything else) a little less magical and a lot harder than he had originally imagined. Convinced that his best friend has been murdered by his pet kitten and struggling so hard to finish his novel that he has started writing the last chapter and working backwards, Shane paints a hilariously bizarre and lonely portrait of a C-list writer.

Already a highly successful cult Dublin club night, Not Also, But Only is Shanes solo debut at the Fringe. Shane has spent the last number of years as a regular on the Irish and international comedy scenes with Diet of Worms. This included three highly successful Edinburgh Fringe Festival runs, the internet phenomenon that is Adventures of the Puffincat as well as RTE 2s hit show Dublin Stories.

Shane Langan presents a laid-back afternoon of stand-up, short story-telling and poetry from simply one of the least boring* minds in Irish comedy.

Cult success surely awaits Chortle

Shane Langan is a tour de force in his own right. Writer, poet and nervous wreck, he has a style that inspires laughter before he even opens his mouth. Culch.ie
