The Hurler: A Campion's Tale
The Hurler tells the story of Ireland’s most notorious hurler, Gar Campion. He is Ireland’s David Beckham, a fashionista sportsman with a celebrity girlfriend. However, when he becomes the first Hurler in history to fail a test for performance enhancing drugs, he is blackballed from the sport he loves and his swanky lifestyle disappears. He is then forced to rebuild his shattered reputation by coaching Ireland’s worst Junior B Hurling team, who’ve never won a game in the history of their club.

Mark Simmons
Mark hit the headlines in August when his joke, “I was going to sail around the globe in the world’s smallest ship but I bottled it”, was voted the funniest of this year’s Edinburgh Fringe, meaning he joins comics of the calibre of Tim Vine, Stewart Francis, and Zoe Lyons - all previous winners. If you like one-liners, then make sure to see this Winner of UK Comics' Comic Best Act and a regular on Mock The Week at #GCF24.
