    About This Event

    Northern Irish comedian Shane Todd, whose work spans stand-up, radio, acting and podcasting, brings television experience from recurring roles on Soft Border Patrol and Chancers to his stage work.

    About Hold Me Back

    “Hold Me Back” is a comedy night currently running at the Gramercy Theatre in New York City, featuring Shane Todd. Built around personal storytelling and observational material, the show treats everyday frustrations as raw material rather than punchlines in search of a theme. In a city where stand-up often doubles as autobiography, it fits a local lineage of confessional comedy presented on mid-size stages. Todd’s restraint is the point; the set trusts timing and detail more than volume.
