Abandoman: Moonrock Boombase

After several years cutting a truly original path between rap music and comedy, Ireland’s top comedy hip hop improv team have leapt from strength to strength at the Edinburgh Festival, fast becoming one of the Fringe’s biggest and most popular acts. Unrivalled by any other comedy / music act, Abandoman will be touring their mind blowing, interactive, word bending lyrical genius for the first time ever this Spring with their biggest ever show to date.

Set in the future, Abandoman will be taking you to the moon using the history of hip-hop as their blueprint and you as their inspiration. This is musical improv like you’ve never seen before, with every single show completely different to the next. Innovating mixtape mash-ups and futuristic jams with musical, lyrical and comical scenes of a seriously awesome nature, this may just be the most revolutionary show you will ever witness.

In 2012, Abandoman supported multi-platinum artist Ed Sheeran on his sell-out UK tour, culminating in two nights at London’s Brixton Academy. In February last year, their debut performance in Australia won them a Best Comedy nomination and a Best Newcomer award at the Adelaide Fringe Festival. They have appeared on BBC3′s Live at the Edinburgh Fringe Festival, BBC2′s The Stephen K Amos Show, Sky Arts Latitude coverage and various radio shows from BBC Radio 1′s Fun And Filthy Cabaret to BBC6 Music’s Breakfast Show. They have stormed numerous festivals such as Bestival, Latitude, Altitude, Rockness, Glastonbury, Hop Farm and V Festival, they have opened for several comedy and music acts such as Micky Flanagan, Tommy Tiernan and DJ Yoda, performed at the 2010 Brits after-party and hosted the 2012 St. Patricks Day event in Trafalgar Square, entertaining 10,000 St Paddy’s Day revellers!
