🎭 About the Show
The 1 Ball Show is a bold, hilarious, and deeply human stand-up comedy hour from Terence Hartnett, winner of the 2024 European Comedy Award for Best Show.
Fresh off his fourth sold-out run at the Edinburgh Fringe Festival with 1 Lung Marathon, Hartnett returns with a new show that blends razor-sharp writing, emotional honesty, and laugh-out-loud storytelling.
This is stand-up comedy at its best:
personal without being self-pitying,
emotional without being sentimental,
and relentlessly funny without ever feeling cheap.
😂 What Is The 1 Ball Show About?
Life rarely goes according to plan — and Terence Hartnett is living proof.
A comedian and cancer survivor, Hartnett turns survival, identity, masculinity, fear, and gratitude into sharp, intelligent comedy. With fearless honesty, he explores what it means to rebuild your life after everything changes — while still laughing at the absurdity of the world around you.
Expect:
Brilliant personal storytelling
Tightly written jokes
Insightful reflections on life, health, and ambition
Observations that hit hard — then hit harder with a punchline
This is comedy that makes you laugh first…
and realize why you’re laughing a moment later.
