Fear of Heights
Written and Performed by Kevin Flynn
Fear of Heights is the story of an Irish-American kid who took a different career path from his father and grandfather, who were both New York City ironworkers. His grandfather, Paddy Flynn, was memorialized in the iconic Charles C. Ebbets photograph, “Lunch Atop a Skyscraper”; he is the gentleman sitting on the far right of a beam high above the Manhattan skyline. Kevin was naturally expected to be among the third generation of Flynn men to be a Brooklyn ironworker; however, Kevin had a different plan. Kevin is an actor and stand-up comedian.
