Since coming to England from Iran in 1980, if Patrick had £1 for every time someone called him a terrorist, he'd have enough money to run his own terrorist organisation. He has more in common with Freddie Mercury than Hezbollah. He has had visas turned down, extra checks and restricted access. He has 60 minutes to prove: I'm not a terrorist. 'His kind of funny is an irresistible force' (Scotsman). 'Monahan is clever, very funny and hugely likeable' (Scottish Field) 'Has his audiences in stitches from the off' ****½ (One4Review.co.uk).
