Dylan Moran brings 'Looking For Trouble' to Lisbon, a brand-new stand-up show mixing deliciously cynical humour with everyday absurdities. Recommended for ages 16 and over.

Full details

Producer H2N-Consultoria de Animação Unipessoal, Lda. Brief Introduction DYLAN MORAN: LOOKING FOR TROUBLE Much more than a stand-up show: a rare opportunity to see one of the greatest legends of international comedy live. Few comedians have managed to create such a unique and recognizable voice as Dylan Moran. Between poetry, café philosophy, existential indignation and pure comedy, the Irish artist has become an unavoidable reference for several generations of audiences and comedians. In Looking For Trouble, Moran returns to the stage with new reflections, new obsessions and the same extraordinary ability to turn everyday absurdities into moments of collective laughter. In an increasingly absurd world, nobody gets into trouble with as much elegance as Dylan Moran. It's showtime. And now, what are you going to do? Are you going to get up and go to work? Or are you going to stay in bed, looking for a way to escape all this? Yeah. We have bad news: there are no more ways to escape all this. The economy will survive perfectly well without you. But how long will you manage to survive without that giant iced caramel latte, or without the other five thousand absurd things you've been accumulating over the years so you can point at them and murmur: 'This is my... life?' Take it easy. We haven't even left the house and we're already in this state. Find out how everything could have been different. Find out how to get your life back by becoming a lethal kickboxing and chess champion. Set new trends in love on a global scale. Join an elite of trillionaire poets, pastry chefs and mountaineers. Or simply... go. SYNOPSIS LOOKING FOR TROUBLE A completely new show by Dylan Moran, winner of the BAFTA and Perrier awards, and star of the iconic series Black Books. 'Deliciously cynical.' - Metro 'Perfect for the times we live in.' - The i 'Superb.' - The Guardian 'Outdoing Shakespeare, he reduces life to four ages: "child, failure, old and dead". Faced with such devastating sentences, the world suddenly seems a better place.' - The Telegraph Supplementary Notes Expected duration of the event: 1h50 with a 20min interval. This duration may change. Additional Information Children under 3 are not allowed in, as stipulated in Decree-Law 23/2014, of 14 February, in its current wording (article 26).

Show original (Portuguese)

Produtor H2N-Consultoria de Animação Unipessoal,Lda. Breve Introdução DYLAN MORAN: LOOKING FOR TROUBLE Muito mais do que um espetáculo de stand-up: uma rara oportunidade para ver ao vivo uma das maiores lendas da comédia internacional. Poucos humoristas conseguiram criar uma voz tão única e reconhecível como Dylan Moran. Entre a poesia, a filosofia de café, a indignação existencial e a comédia pura, o artista irlandês tornou-se uma referência incontornável para várias gerações de espectadores e comediantes. Em Looking For Trouble, Moran regressa ao palco com novas reflexões, novas obsessões e a mesma capacidade extraordinária para transformar as absurdidades do dia a dia em momentos de gargalhada coletiva. Num mundo cada vez mais absurdo, ninguém encontra sarilhos com tanta elegância como Dylan Moran. Chegou a hora do espetáculo. E agora, o que vais fazer? Vais levantar-te para ir trabalhar? Ou vais ficar na cama, à procura de uma maneira de escapar a isto tudo? Pois é. Temos más notícias: acabaram-se as maneiras de escapar a isto tudo. A economia vai sobreviver perfeitamente sem ti. Mas durante quanto tempo conseguirás sobreviver sem aquele gigantesco latte gelado com caramelo, ou sem as outras cinco mil coisas absurdas que foste acumulando ao longo dos anos para poderes apontar para elas e murmurar: “Esta é a minha… vida?” Calma, calma. Ainda nem saímos de casa e já estamos neste estado. Descobre como tudo poderia ter sido diferente. Descobre como recuperar a tua vida tornando-te um campeão letal de kickboxing e de xadrez. Lança novas tendências no amor à escala global. Junta-te a uma elite de poetas trilionários, pasteleiros e alpinistas. Ou simplesmente… vai.
