Michael Mooney

Michael Mooney is from Glasgow but has been living in Brighton for the past 13 years. He has been described as a “definite star in the making” (Latest 7) and “most certainly one to watch” (We love Brighton).  In 2012, he performed his first Edinburgh Fringe compilation show entitled “Can You Put This In The Bin For Me?”, which was a sell out on a daily basis and prompted a successful return in 2013 where he performed with tv names such as Romesh Ranganathan.  A natural comedian who always has something truthful to say, it’s fitting that recurring feedback from audience members is ‘I really liked that Scottish Michael Mooney guy’.
