Sean McLoughlin: “If this is as good as it gets, then it’s still the best. I’m playing the same venue as Ricky Gervais”
British comedian Sean McLoughlin was recently in Lisbon to open for Ricky Gervais, in the “Mortality” tour. He had already performed at a sold out MEO Arena in 2023, when the creator of “The Office” took to the stage in Portugal for the first time, during the “Armageddon” tour. Sean McLoughlin has also performed his own solo show in Portugal and will be back in june, with “White Elephant”. In Lisbon, on the 23rd and 24th of june, and in Porto, on the 22nd of november. In an interview with Gustavo Carvalho, for “Humor À Primeira Vista”, he explains how he became Ricky Gervais' opener, presents a theory that justifies the success of stand-up comedy around the world, reveals the behind the scenes of a performance in Los Angeles, for 17.000 people, that felt more like an Apollo mission and reveals that, despite not living in Portugal, he is not that far from it.
