Kieran Hodgson: Voice Of America
This event is in the past
The four time Edinburgh comedy award nominee returns.
America. What happened, man? Ever since he was a little loser kid in a little loser country (yes, England), Kieran Hodgson has been putting on an American accent and dreaming a big American dream. But nowadays it’s not so simple. Didn’t America go completely bananas? Didn’t he get too old for dreaming? And when Hollywood comes calling, does Kieran actually sound American after all?
Join one of The Telegraph’s 50 funniest comedians of the 21st Century as he explores how a scared world feels about the USA and impersonates a bunch of old prospectors and former Presidents.
