ABANDOMAN will be dropping into Leeds Wardrobe on October 18 to show why he is regarded as Ireland’s finest hip-hop musical comedian.

The rapper promises a blend of audience reaction and razor-sharp improvisation, taking people on a magical journey, transforming their likes, loathes and daydreams into hit songs and captivating tales.

Abandoman, aka Rob Broderick, has won several comedy awards in Adelaide and Hackney.

Over the years Rob has been accompanied by a band of musicians, but this time he is performing solo.

A spokesman for this show said: “Using a sample-pad necklace to trigger the high production beats and hooks he freestyles over, paired with the kind of vocal effects and processing you associate with Kanye and Drake, Rob creates exhilarating live experiences that have won him the highest of international critical acclaim.

“He continues to sell out his fringe runs in Edinburgh and Australia each year, wowing audiences wherever he plays.”

Abandoman supported multi-platinum artist Ed Sheeran on his sell-out UK tour, and has appeared on Channel 4’s 8 out of 10 Cats Does Countdown, BBC1’s The One Show and BBC2′s The Stephen K Amos Show.

He has guested on various radio shows, and held a songwriting residency with Chris Hawkin on BBC 6 Music.

The pair performed as the house band on Alan Carr’s Happy Hour, alongside celebrities such as Craig David.

Abandoman has headlined comedy stages at every major UK music festival from Glastonbury to Latitude and stormed international stages in Australia, Europe, The USA, Canada and Hong Kong. Visit abandoman.com to book tickets.
