Multi award-winning Irish comedian, zoologist and boardgamer Donal Vaughan is bringing his ornithological stand-up show to the Fringe. A dormant passion rekindled after playing the game Wingspan (one of the most popular modern boardgames with over 3 million copies sold), Donal delves into the world of absurd birds and how the game gets people into birding. From Abbott's Boobys to Zebra Finches, learn and laugh about the funnier side of our feathered friends. Whether a birder, twitcher or a nature lover, this show is for you.
