Aonghus Óg McAnally stars in ‘Fight Night’ at The Everyman

Winner of Best Actor and Bewley’s Little Gem awards at Dublin Fringe, and nominated Best New Play at the Irish Times Theatre Awards, Aonghus Óg McAnally stars in the smash hit solo show ‘Fight Night’ by Gavin Kostick to The Everyman Palace Theatre, Cork on Thursday next, January 20 at 6.30pm.

A gripping journey charting the comeback of Dan Coyle Jr, a failed amateur boxer living in the shadows of his overbearing father and his brother’s Olympic success. After years out of the ring, the birth of his own son reignites his competitive fire, and he takes the first tentative steps on his road to redemption. This fast-paced and engaging solo performance combines intense physicality with a deeply emotional storytelling experience that will leave audiences both exhausted and exhilarated.

Beautifully played, a hugely athletic and emotionally flawless performance… Effortless theatricality… not complex, not elaborate, but completely gripping from start to finish. The Scotsman
