If you didn’t laugh, he’d cry.
Tony Cantwell has cried for some wild reasons over the years. A TV show about dogs. A drunken run on a treadmill. Getting caught in the nip at school.
They’re also all part of the chaos that unfolds in You Cry Weird, his brand new Fringe Award nominated show from Hot Press’s “2nd best comedian in Ireland.”
It’s got wildly personal stories, surreal perspectives and more tangents than a bronzed men’s beach. The show also has puns.
