Barry Coughlan is a Corkman who has always dreamed of being a stand-up comedian. He writes comedy and he practices it yet he has never performed. Why? Because he suffers from crippling anxiety. What Barry really needs to do now is to face his fears and take control. He needs to Stand Up.

OldTeam Productions are proud to present Standing Up, a six-part comedy-drama television series based in Cork City and County. Starring Gerard Kearney (The Wind That Shakes the Barley) and Pascal Scott (Intermission), Standing Up is the show which truly captures the inimitable character of Ireland’s Southern capital.

In August 2016, OldTeam Productions and global broadcaster, Irish TV signed a development deal with a view to broadcasting Standing Up in 2017.
