Hip-hop musical comedian Abandoman (aka Rob Broderick) is back on tour and set to perform at Manchester’s Gorilla next week.
Ireland’s finest, the rapper/comedian, will be performing his biggest shows to date. And this time he’s going solo. Over the years, Abandoman has been accompanied by a host of musicians but this time it will simply be a sample-pad necklace and vocal effects, whilst he freestyles over the top.
Using his trademark blend of audience interaction and improvisation, Rob will take the venues on a magical journey, transforming audience likes, dislikes and daydreams into songs and captivating tales.
Abandoman supported multi-platinum artist Ed Sheeran on his sell out UK tour, enthralled audiences on Channel 4’s 8 out of 10 Cats Does Countdown, BBC1’s The One Show and BBC2’s The Stephen K Amos Show, guested on various radio shows from Nick Grimshaw (BBC Radio 1) to Christian O’Connell (Absolute Radio) and held a song writing residency with Chris Hawkin (BBC 6 Music). They also performed as the house band on Alan Carr’s Happy Hour (Channel 4) alongside celebrities such as Craig David.
