Who is Micky Flanagan?
Micky Flanagan, born in 1962, is a London-born stand-up comedian and panelist.
He has become known for his East End heritage, and his distinctive Cockney accent, sayings and mannerisms.
Dropping out of school with no qualifications, Micky took on a number of jobs including a furniture maker, kitchen porter, and fishmonger (his father’s trade) before returning to education. He completed his degree at the age of 29.

By 2001, he was one of the four co-headliners for Big Value Comedy Show at the Edinburgh Fringe Festival. In 2006, he released his first full-length solo show, What Chance Change?

By 2017, his tour An Another Fing... was the biggest comedy event of 2017, breaking box office records at the time. Across the duration of the tour, he performed for over 600,000 people across the UK and Ireland.
He lives with his wife, Cathy, and together they have one son.
