More about Shane Langan

Shane is one of Dublin’s finest comedians whose nervous, awkward style is fantastic to watch and listen to. His stand up show had everyone on the floor laughing at our event Bang Bang’s Forty Coats http://youtu.be/t0cqtyoPm-E . His story here is a remarkable but true story. After the 1981 event, Lawrence 'the holy hijacker' served 5 years in French prison. On release he tirelessly campaigned to have the 'real' secret revealed, claiming the pope had corrupted the holy message somehow.
