Shane Todd: Hold Me Back
Armed with his signature wit, razor-sharp storytelling, and a complete inability to take himself seriously, Shane comes to Leeds with his brand-new stand-up show.
Shane sell out venues in the UK, Ireland, Australia, USA, Canada, and the Middle East, holds the record for a solo performer in Belfast’s legendary Grand Opera House with a twenty-four-night run and held a live episode of his ‘Tea With Me’ podcast in a sold-out SSE Arena Belfast.
His online sketches and stand-up clips have amassed millions of views, has released a new sketch show for BBC, ‘Chancers’, which he wrote, acted in and co-directed and also stars in ‘Previously With Shane Todd’ for BBC NI and hosts on BBC Radio Ulster.
Shane has been the resident opener for Kevin Hart’s twenty-four date European tour and performed with names such as Theo Von, Bill Burr, John Mulaney and Tim Dillon.
