Sean McLoughlin: Halfway

Halfway is a stand-up show by Sean McLoughlin, staged at Fairfield Social Club in Manchester. It takes observational comedy as its starting point, looking at what the comedian has learned and achieved so far.

Sean McLoughlin's new stand-up show, Halfway, is built on a simple premise: the comedian is halfway through life and asks what has been learned and what has been achieved so far. The material is observational, with everyday experience as its starting point, and the performer's own reflections give the set its shape.

Sean McLoughlin has been seen on Live At The Apollo and Mock The Week, has also appeared on The Sean McTalk Show, and has opened for Ricky Gervais. The List praised the show as a masterclass in imagination and wordplay, showing how observational comedy can reach unexpected places, while Time Out called it a highly accomplished display of stand-up.

The performance takes place at Fairfield Social Club, a theatre in Manchester. Its appeal rests on sharp observation, wordplay and a personal angle on the middle years of life.
