Stand-Up at Scala: Sharon Em – I Know a Guy

When a family secret rewrites everything you thought you knew.

Irish comedian Sharon Em takes the stage with a story that's equal parts hilarious and heartbreaking. 'I Know a Guy' digs into the moment a family revelation flips your world upside down, and somehow, she makes it funny. Really funny.

Sharon's style is dry, honest, and disarmingly sharp. She doesn't sugarcoat. She doesn't overexplain. She just tells it like it is, with the kind of deadpan delivery that sneaks up on you until you're laughing out loud at things you probably shouldn't find funny. It's the kind of comedy that lingers after the lights come back on.

Nominated for Best Debut at Edinburgh Fringe 2024, Sharon proved she's not just another comedian with a mic and a story. She's a storyteller who knows how to turn personal chaos into universal truth. If you've ever had your assumptions challenged by someone you thought you knew, this show will hit home.
