Dom Mcgovern: Prize Hog

Dom McGovern's debut stand-up hour, directed by Chloe Petts, comes to Glasgow after a run at the Edinburgh Fringe. It explores one man's vanity set against a Catholic upbringing.

Prize Hog is a stand-up comedy show by Dom McGovern, built around a single hour of material. Its premise pits one man's vanity against Catholicism, and the performer works through that contrast directly with the audience. The show was directed by Chloe Petts and was named among the top debut comedy shows at the Edinburgh Fringe by Rolling Stone.

The production has been nominated for the Edinburgh Comedy Awards, the ISH Comedy Awards and the Next Up Biggest Award in Comedy. Dom McGovern, who co-wrote the Chicken Shop Date, has also performed two runs at Soho Theatre in London. Press quotes praise the material as brutally funny and endlessly entertaining, and describe the performer as a sharp, fast-moving comic voice.

The show takes place at The Old Hairdresser's, a venue on Renfield Lane in Glasgow that mainly hosts pop, rock and indie music, as well as some theatre.
