The Spiel

When Ray O'Leary was born, winter changed to spring, a new star formed in the heavens and a double rainbow spontaneously appeared. With this auspicious start, it is no wonder he became leader of North Korea in 1994 until his untimely death in 2011. Despite this minor setback, he found time to bring you a whole new show. The star of Taskmaster NZ, Melbourne Comedy Festival Best Show Nominee and complete sell-out at the 2024 and 2025 Edinburgh Fringes brings his grey suit and super-deadpan wit back to these shores for another hotly-awaited tour.★★★★ 'Brilliantly crafted and very funny jokes, one after another' – The Scotsman★★★★ 'A jokesmith of the highest order' – The Skinny★★★★ 'A very strong comic indeed' – Chortle★★★★ 'In awe of this performer's ability to captivate his audience' – EdFestMag★★★★ 'Like a haunted fever dream, in the best way possible' – Entertainment Now
