I'm touring my latest Hollywood & Edinburgh show to some wonderful, independent theatres around Ireland in early 2011.

As usual, I've written a lot of jokes about things we're not really supposed to discuss - like bisexuality, racism and monogamy. Joking about this stuff in front of strangers in London and Los Angeles is actually not too embarrassing.

Joking about this stuff in Ireland, in front of people I know and will have to look in the eyes again... Let's just say, I wanted to be very sure of my material. And I am now. But I'm sure there'll be a few surprises.

Given recent events, there'll probably be plenty of topical material as well.

I'm also bringing Eco-Friendly Jihad to a few new locations. Full dates and details below - and on the Gigs page.

But first, some info on...

Sex, Lies & The KKK

The night Barack Obama was elected US President, Abie Philbin Bowman exclusively interviewed the Ku Klux Klan. He gave them plenty of rope, and let them lynch themselves.

Direct from Los Angeles, Edinburgh and a sell-out run at the ABSOLUT Fringe: Sex, Lies & the KKK asks: “was Jesus mixed-race?” "Are we all bisexual?" And: “is the Pope the ultimate Bond Villain?”

“Abie Philbin Bowman deserves a comic sainthood”
- The Stage

“With his rapid-fire delivery, wit and taste for paradox, he calls to mind both Swift's Modest Proposal and Robin Williams”
- LA Weekly
