Mike Keenan : Impossible Dream
21 February 2026
Nominated for Best Debut Show in 2025.
From festival fan to festival favourite. Mike spent 30 years in the audience before finally getting over his misgivings and grabbing the mic.
Eight years later, he’s a regular on the UK circuit and at last year's festival, his first ever hour-long performance was nominated for Best Debut. Now this ‘quarter-professional’ comedian delivers the completed show, a laugh-out-loud mix of heart and humour, as he tackles midlife crises, second chances and pursuing your dreams.
A must-see for anyone who’s ever wondered if it’s too late to follow theirs.
