About Shane Todd: Hold Me Back
Armed with his signature wit, razor-sharp storytelling, and a complete inability to take himself seriously, Shane is back in with his brand new stand up show.
Shane Todd hosts the massively popular Tea With Me podcast and performs in some of the world’s most famous comedy clubs.
Shane Todd is an Irish comic hailing from Holywood and has just completed his third world tour with show, 'Full House', - Shane's eleventh hour. The last few years have seen Shane sell out venues in the UK, Ireland, Australia, USA, Canada, and the Middle East. Shane holds the record for a solo performer in Belfast's legendary Grand Opera House with a twenty-four-night run.
Shane also hosts the massively popular weekly ‘Tea With Me’ podcast, which last year held a live episode in a sold-out SSE Arena Belfast. Shane’s online sketches and stand-up clips have amassed millions of clips and feed well into his stand up. He has released a self-produced brand-new sketch show for BBC, 'Chancers', which he wrote, acted in and co-directed. Shane 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.
