“I thought Jeremy Paxman was going to punch me.”
Offering a “money back guarantee” is a dangerous thing to do in any business but when your job is to make people laugh during a recession it might be the daftest idea you can think of. But that’s exactly how rising Irish comedian Jarlath Regan has made his name and packed out his festival shows at the Edinburgh Fringe.
“In a world where we all feel like we’ve had the wool pulled over our eyes, I think people appreciate the honesty”, says the Kildare born comic of his “no smile no fee” promise. In three years of touring and shaking hands with every audience member as they leave the venue he hasn’t been approached for a single refund. That’s not to say he hasn’t had a couple of close calls.
While performing at last year’s Edinburgh Fringe Festival he joked that BBC journalist Jermey Paxman was “a real huare for the drink” only to learn later the News Night host was seated in the third row. “I was shaking hands with everyone on the way out and next thing I see is his head appearing around the corner! I thought Jermey Paxman is going to punch me or demand his money back!” Instead, Paxman renowned for his uncompromising ego, shook the comedian’s hand and told him he thought the show was “Delightful stuff.”
Regan’s tour of Australia as part of the “Best of The Edinburgh Festival” gala show culminated in a sell-out run at the Melbourne Comedy Festival along side the likes of Des Bishop, Jason Byrne, Neil Delemare and Dylan Moran. Television audiences will recognise him from his appearances The Apprentice “You’re Fired”, The Panel and Tonight with Craig Doyle.
Irish audiences will have their first chance to see his new stand-up comedy show “Not So Common Sense” at The Sugar Club on April 16th. A host of surprise special guests who will also perform on the night have yet to be announced.
