He has performed regularly at the Edinburgh Festival Fringe. Monahan also holds the world record for "Longest Hug" at a time of 25 hours and 25 minutes, alongside fellow comedian Bob Slayer. They set this record at Edinburgh Fringe Festival 2013. BackgroundMonahan's father was an Irish welder, who met Monahan's mother in a bank in Tehran, prior to the Iranian Revolution. To leave the country after the revolution, in company with his brother and sister, the three-year-old Monahan had to pose as his grandparents' son, because only one boy per couple could leave the country.[1] Monahan has two passports – one Iranian and one Irish one, using his Irish passport for travelling.[4] CareerLive performancesMonahan is a comedy festival regular and has performed solo shows in a number of cities including Edinburgh, Glasgow and Manchester, and also at most major venues throughout the UK. He has also performed across the globe in countries including Dubai, Luxembourg and Germany. He has done shows which refer to the occasional racism he encountered growing up in Middlesbrough.[1] During the Edinburgh Festival Fringe he has performed at the Gilded Balloon, including in August 2015 with his show The Disco Years.[6] Also at the 2015 Edinburgh Fringe, he debuted a play which he wrote and in which he also performed.[7] Monahan's humour relies heavily on audience interaction and an animated story-telling style that draws on his own experiences. He is known within comedy circles to "ignore the light", meaning he will eat into other comic's time or cause overall delays to the program.{{citation needed|date=February 2016}} TelevisionIn August 2011, Monahan won the ITV stand-up comedy contest Show Me the Funny. Shortly after winning, he performed on The Comedy Annual, a one-off programme celebrating the year in comedy. On 10 March 2012, he participated in the BBC One programme Let's Dance for Sport Relief.
