Sean Hughes: Penguins

What shapes a man’s life? That's what Sean wants to know - and a career guidance teacher, an angry monk and an overexcited Nigerian help him find out. This uplifting & reflective show takes the audience on a whirlwind hour of abstract humour - guaranteed to make audiences feel better about themselves. This is Sean's 2013 Edinburgh Festival show, the follow up to the 2012 hit 'Life Becomes Noises'.
