Welcome to Planet of the Vapes, where laughter reigns supreme as Brian shares his odyssey with smoking.

One of Ireland's top story-weaving comedians, you'll find yourself laughing, gasping and even reflecting on your vices. But fear not, for amidst the clouds of smoke lies a tale of redemption in this side-splitting comedy spectacle! As seen on RTE and Virgin Media. Resident MC: The Laughter Lounge Dublin.

A great guy, great comedy, amazing show as always! Brian is a MUST SEE every year at fringe: if you love comedy, and a good Irish accent, you better find yourself here!

We really enjoyed this show. A brilliant storyteller with bags of charm, lots of big laughs and incredibly sharp crowd work. One of the best Irish acts we've seen at fringe.

I am not a smoker so I couldn’t really relate but I still enjoyed the show!

Brilliant and hilarious storytelling that had our group remembering and repeating bits to each other days after the show. Unmatched crowd work that felt less anxiety-inducing and more that we were in on the jokes. Brian is a fantastic comedian - would highly recommend.

Brian's storytelling is world class and his crowd work is universe-class (if that's a thing). Brian's entertaining stories and sharp wit engaged the audience from start to finish. He wove in hilarious (friendly) crowd work throughout, which had everyone on the floor - something I hadn't seen much of at the Fringe.

Highly recommend this show for anyone (smoker or non) looking for a laugh!

Great new show from an excellent Irish comedian. Brian’s unique and engaging style of storytelling comedy means his experiences and observations live long after the show. You’ll have a whole new reference for smoking and vaping after this hilarious recount!

What a great show. Very funny with such an effortless storytelling style and probably the best crowd-work we've seen so far.

Have only seen Brian once before as a support so great to see a full set. His crowd work was excellent, especially considering it was Saturday night with some fairly inebriated folk in attendance. Loved the show, and don't worry, you don't have to be a smoker/vaper/former smoker to enjoy it!
