Kevin Hayes
Having failed to realise his childhood dream of becoming a Civil Engineer, Kevin Hayes fell back on comedy to earn a crust. Since then he has peddled his wares around the comedy world from Melbourne to San Francisco and from Derry to Dubai, telling jokes and gazing longingly at the buildings.
'Here is a great Irish comic. His dry, smooth wit is wondrous'
THE IRISH TIMES
'The best thing about Kevin Hayes is that his jokes are really funny, something which some comics think is not as important as being clever. Hayes is clever too and his best material is a mixture of surrealism and satire. He handles religion and politics with a light but incisive touch' THE STAGE
'This man is gold!' THE SCOTSMAN
'Kevin Hayes is the stand-up comedian for people who thought they didn't like stand-up comedy' SCOT FM
'A fine comic. Intelligent and incisive yet still amenable '
THE GUARDIAN
