Flanagan, Nick

***A fixture in front of brick walls (and behind chicken wire) across North America, NICK FLANAGAN is a singular talent in the post-NAFTA underground comedy scene. Nick’s endearing conversational deadpan, choice subject matter, and “sort-of pregnant” pauses have won him battalions of die-hard followers and/or comedy club patrons waiting on their second mandatory drink. Either utterly fearless or perhaps born without the "shame gene," on I'm Here All Weak, Nick tackles many popular topics from the annals of today, yesterday and day after tomorrow such as parents, life, balding musicians, video games, drugs, robots, irony, the G-Spot, food, and grammar.  
 
"Nick Flanagan’s debut comedy album, I’m Here All Weak, is an absurdist stand-up set in the vein of British comedy. Flanagan’s style isn’t about grounding his jokes in experience. It’s about startling deliveries, odd non sequiturs, and strange set-ups that lead to even stranger punchlines. What I enjoy most about it is Flanagan’s ability to continually jolt the audience with absurd premises that he announces apropos of nothing. It’s an interesting style and certainly holds up over the course of the album."—Dusted
