“What would happen if everybody in the world stopped paying their debt back? …Eh, we would all be debt free.”
Aidan Killian, investment banker-turned-comedian, brings his latest stand up comedy show to Phnom Penh as part of his 2016 World Tour.
‘The Money Shot’ is a thought provoking, witty and inspiring hour-long set that explores the history of money and how it impacts society. Aidan asks challenging questions, “Would you die for what you believe in?” and answers it, “Yes. If I was ninety.”
He is one of Ireland’s most traveled comedians having sold out rooms in Perth, Adelaide, Melbourne, Byron Bay, Sydney, Thailand, Vietnam, Cambodia, Myanmar, Malaysia, Japan, South Korea, Singapore, Hong Kong, Indonesia, Netherlands, and the US.
He will be returning to Edinburgh next month as part of ‘Heroes of the Fringe’ for the fifth year running.
Aidan is a passionate, political comedian, bold enough to tackle subjects that others do not dare to mention, but with enough charm and humour to get away with it.
In 2013, he took on the bankers with ‘Take The Red Pill’. In 2014, he took on religion with ‘Jesus versus Buddha’. And in 2015, he managed to shine a lighter light on serious subjects such as war crimes, genocide and mass surveillance in his show ‘The Holy Trinity of Whistleblowers’.
His critically acclaimed shows received 5-star and 4-star reviews at both the Edinburgh to Adelaide Fringes, and this year’s show promises to be the best yet.
Not only has he performed all over the world, he has also performed at peace festivals in the Middle East and Northern Ireland, was a “highlight” at Glastonbury Festival 2016 and now resumes his World Tour in Southeast Asia.
He has made appearances on BBC, RTE, Channel 4, Russia Today, 98fm, 4fm, Spin fm, Bali Spirit Festival, Vodafone Comedy Festival.
A grass-roots comedian and a people-lover, he is Ireland’s only comedian to have done a sitting-room tour of Ireland or to leave the stage at Electric Picnic, Ireland’s largest festival, to initiate a giant group hug.
Join Aidan for an unforgettable hour of laughter, all for a very good cause.
Every single cent of your $5 entrance fee will go towards the Cambodian Organization for Living and Temporary-care (COLT), a community center that offers help to children and families in Cambodia in the areas of temporary and long-term residential care, education medical and social support, sustainability and sports activities.
