🎭 A TALE TOLD BY AN IDIOT
Shakespeare’s Macbeth as you’ve never seen it before.

One actor. One Derry accent. One of Shakespeare’s bloodiest tragedies — and somehow, it’s bloody hilarious.
Award-winning comedian Adam Laughlin () takes on his most ambitious show yet, performing the entirety of Macbeth himself in a fast-paced, irreverent and gloriously chaotic reimagining of Shakespeare’s classic tragedy.

Expect drama, murder, witches, violence, gore, comedy and plenty of explicit language as kings are crowned, predictions are made, heads roll and one very unfortunate Scottish nobleman discovers that maybe listening to his wife wasn’t the best idea after all.

With over 15 years of performing and hosting comedy across some of Northern Ireland’s biggest and best-loved venues, Adam is known for his sharp observations, addictive storytelling and high-energy performances.

Described as “unmissable” and “a must-see”, A Tale Told by an Idiot is Macbeth stripped back, turned sideways and delivered by one very enthusiastic idiot.
