Morgan Rees
Award-nominated online sensation Morgan Rees is set to embark on his first UK stand-up comedy tour with his brand-new show ‘Turning Thirsty’ from 1st May to 27th June 2024, including dates at iconic venues such as the Bristol’s Old Vic, Glasgow’s The Stand and London’s Hackney Empire. Tour tickets are on pre-sale from Wednesday 25th October, followed by general on sale this Friday 27th October.
Morgan Rees is officially 30 and hitting this milestone birthday has got him thirsty…for life. In his debut UK tour, ‘Turning Thirsty’, Morgan is vowing to live his next decade authentically as a proud bisexual man, but not before celebrating the trials and improvements (aka f** ups and perk ups) of his experimental 20s. Covering everything from a cringe-inducing mishap on a nudist beach, making his Mum menopause-busting edibles, his partner’s emasculating magic wand, to his admittedly unique dating icks (porridge lovers beware). Strap in for a unique journey all about unshackling shame and embracing the power of Pride. Also, there will most definitely be jokes about bumming.
