Stephen Mullan: Rascal

 
James Macfarlane Review by James Macfarlane 4 Published: 18 Aug 2024 Assembly George Square Show Dates: 31 Jul 2024-25 Aug 2024

When did Stephen Mullan become a rascal? I thought it was just as we walked into The Box at Assembly. However, as he tells us, it all began in his childhood, as he tried to find out a little more about life.

Guaranteed to make us laugh.

There was always something quite impish about Mullan. His subtle smile and several stories about ‘getting the hornies’, his facial expressions, the wild impressions of his Argentinian mother and Irish father. But it goes deeper than that. When he’s not speaking about lighter topics such as the way positivity is presented in different cultures, his backstory and relationship with his father are ones of real heart-break. But they’re experiences that this fabulously talented performer has overcome and is stronger, and more playful, for.

Rascal is a fabulous hour filled with laughs, gags and enthusiasm. It’s one of those shows we need at the Fringe – it’s guaranteed to make us laugh.

The Blurb:

Childhood heartbreak and budget therapy. Sensitive Stevo is mischievously trying to find love, while always finding trouble. In his brand new standup hour, Stephen Mullan debates the adversity of dating life as a single dad, all the while wondering if he is just too much of a rascal? Ireland's favourite scoundrel is guaranteed to make you howl with his silly yet cut-throat comedy. 'One of the strongest standup hours you will ever see!' (TheatreAndTonic.co.uk); 'Beautifully goofy and electric' (Jason Byrne); 'Seriously f*cking funny' (Joanne McNally).
