Ken O’Shaughnessy and Paul Curley are well known around Clare for their involvement in pantomime and comedy theatre. They have finally done what they’ve been threatening to do for years, and pooled their comedic talents to write and perform What is Wrong with You?, a show guaranteeing lots of laughter and lots of frolics.
Don’t miss the world premier of What is Wrong with You?
Des Bishop is back, he’s learning the drums, and he’s not afraid to show it. Combining his love of hip hop, beat boxing, audience participation and a newfound passion for drumming, Des has fun with wordplay in this brand new stand-up show.
‘It’s going to be a bit silly, a bit musical, a bit improvised’ says Des. ‘The title comes from being given an electronic drum kit as a gift recently. I started messing around with it and ended up behind a set on stage. It went really well, so I’ve put together a comedy show with a bit of rhythm in it.’
Bishop’s famously warm, honest presenting style and restless imagination will be in evidence again, most recently seen in the worldwide success of his previous live show, My Dad Was Nearly James Bond. He has since released a book of the same name inspired by his experiences and RTÉ aired a TV documentary on the subject.
‘Charismatic, sincere, eloquent and always seeking the angle’ Chortle
‘Funny, erudite and effortlessly delivered’ The Scotsman, UK
Don’t miss your chance to catch up with Michael ‘Soft Day’ Flatley, Joan ‘Can I Just Say’ Burton, Vincent ‘Ah That’s Very Good’ Browne and many more live on stage! With a new government in place, there are lots of interesting people to focus on and, of course, it would be rude not to give it a bit of ‘Boom Boom’ to Enda Kenny as part of the huge cast of characters - all played by one man - amazing!
Gift Grub can be heard every morning on The Ian Dempsey Breakfast Show on Today FM. Of the live shows Ian said “Gift Grub really comes alive when Mario brings the characters on stage with flashing lights, video technology, swings, roundabouts, kitchen sinks and a live audience - the interaction is a very funny part of the show”.
