Neil Delamere

DelaMere Mortal

Thu 23 May 2013 8PM Main Auditorium // €20 / €17 conc

In his eagerly awaited new show, Neil Delamere, the star of RTE’s The 2nd Republic, BBC’s The Blame Game and Fighting Talk, Michael McIntyre's Comedy Roadshow and Channel 4’s Stand Up for the Week, comes to the realisation that he has now lived in Dublin as long as he has lived in his family home in Offaly. But what exactly has Neil learned in the 16 years since he left home? Find out for yourself when Neil dabbles in a little witty self-reflection and good spirited fun with a trip down memory lane aided by original footage from 90’s quiz show, Blackboard Jungle, when he captained his school team to victory. Catch this home-grown comedy mastermind as he effortlessly mixes his distinct style of off-the-cuff audience banter with a selection of side-splitting tales.

Some adult content and strong language.

Pope Benedict: Bond Villain

Abie Philbin Bowman

Sat 15 Jun 2013 8.15PM Draíocht Studio // €12 / €10 conc

As Pope, Benedict XVI had a creepy German accent, a shadowy Nazi past and a priceless art collection. He was the head of a sinister organisation, hell-bent on World Domination. But earlier this year, he ruined this joke show, by resigning ... OR DID HE?? What if he deliberately fumbled his "de-infallibility" ceremony and retained his full powers? Everyone thinks he's no longer Pope, because THAT'S WHAT HE WANTS US TO THINK.


Comedian & Broadcaster Abie Philbin Bowman is best known from "Jesus The Guantanamo Years", "The John Murray Show", "Arena", "Celebrity Mastermind" and "Would You Believe". Here, he asks why Catholic Europe (Ireland, Spain & Italy) is being bailed out by Protestant Europe (Germany, the UK & Scandanavia)? And are we really bailing out Greece and Ireland, or just the idiotic bankers who lent us ridiculous amounts of money?
