With a natural ability to delve into themes other comics shy away from, he has become one of the best investigative comedians around, however, it’s a show of a very different kind that brings to The Stand this weekend.

Kidocracy, an interactive theatre show for children aged 6+, finds him appearing as his alter ego, Brehon, an ancient Irish know-it-all.

The show begins with the children in the audience learning they are being given an island to rule.

In just under an hour, they must elect leaders, write anthems, come up with rules and deal with all sorts of crises, because running the world isn’t just all fun, fun, fun, there’s stuff to be done as well.

Having appeared on Michael Mcintyre’s Roadshow, Farnan has just topped an great 18 months with an stint at Just For Laughs.

Keith Farnan: Kidocracy, The Stand Comedy Club, York Place, Saturday 10 March, 2pm, £5, 0131-5587272
