Micky Flanagan seemed to appear out of nowhere, his first Nationwide Tour 'The Out Out Tour' is fresh, light hearted, extremely relatable and original. It is mainly light hearted humour but does contains come crude moments, nothing in comparison to some comedians but more adult orientated than Peter Kay for example.
Micky Flanagan is a very likable guy, prior to making it in the stand-up business he was a working class, East London Window Cleaner and even though he has been propelled to fame, he stays very true to his roots. Many of his puns and stories are reflective of his pre fame days and his working class upbringing. He mocks the upper- class but then will go on to make jokes about himself making the switch from poor to rich and many of his stories are based on his own personal experiences or his observations of society while growing up. He tells stories rather than short punchline jokes and he also interacts with the audience in a friendly, teasing manner.
He comes across as a very humble, appreciative man and this is what makes him such a nice, likable person. The Out Out Tour is a great DVD and I would recommend it to any stand up fan, Micky Flanagan will certainly make you laugh!
8/10
