[E]Batty Ryan Will Change Your Life : 1st December 2008 - 5th December 2008Musical style : Theatre/Comedy
Time : Doors @ 7.30pm
Cost : E20
Actors : Starring Joe Rooney, Featuring Sharyn Hayden as Katarina
Days of week : Monday and Tuesday and Wednesday and Thursday and Friday
Reviews : "I'm still laughing at the thought of Fr. Damien (Damo) Lennon, the gurrier
curate who lead Fr. Dougal astray…He was an inspired invention and was
brilliantly played by Joe Rooney "
- John Boland, Sunday Independent
"Very physical, totally unorthodox, and with a style so bizarre… Rooney is a
refreshing change."
- Brian Boyd, The Sunday Times
About the event : December 1st - 5th sees comedian Joe Rooney in his first ever theatrical
performance, 'Batty Ryan Will Change Your Life' in Bewleys Café Theatre,
Grafton Street.
Batty Ryan.. is a deluded life coach, who attempts to better the lives of
his lecture attendees through a series of steps towards success, but the
quality of his ideas about success is very much in question! His brand-new
relationship with Eastern European girlfriend Katarina isn't quite what he
bargained for, and he is beginning to figure out that he may not be quite as
content with his own existence as he thought.
Joe, as Batty, has registered with the Movember campaign, which seeks to
raise funds for men's health awareness, and will shave his beloved moustache
(picture attached!) off on the last night of the show. (See Joe's Movember
profile at: http://ie.movember.com/mospace/1801961)
* More About Joe Rooney:
Stand up comedian, voice over artist, writer and actor Joe Rooney has many
strings to his huge and accomplished bow. As barfly Timmy from Killinaskully
he has become one of Ireland's most popular "luadars" and the butt of many
of Dan Clancy's jokes. He has also contributed as a writer on the current
series of Killinaskully and is presently a sketch writer and performer on
Newstalk's breakfast show. As an actor he has also appeared in many films
including the excellent homage to the B movie "Flying Saucers Rock n' Roll"
alongside Ardal O' Hanlon.
In Father Ted he was the unforgettable rebel priest Father Damo who uttered
the memorable line, "Who do you prefer, Blur or Oasis?" |
The Santaland Diaries : 3rd December 2008 - 20th December 2008Label : A Christmas Show for Adults!
Time : 1.10 (doors open 12.50pm)
Cost : €15 (includes light lunch)
Director : Stuart Roche
Actors : Patrick O\\\' Donnell
Author : David Sedaris
Booking : 086-8784001 or info@bewleyscafetheatre.com
Days of week : Monday and Tuesday and Wednesday and Thursday and Friday and Saturday
Other : Previews Dec 1st and 2nd.
Reviews : 'A delightfully thorny account of working as a Yuletide elf at Macy's. Priceless observations, both outrageous and subtle. Destined to hold a place in the annals of American humor writing.' NY Times
About the event : It's a classic story - one man suffers for our sins, and we are all saved.
This year, that man is an elf.
Based on David Sedaris' own experience, THE SANTALAND DIARIES divulges the wickedly funny journey of Crumpet, a 33-year-old starving artist turned Macy's Santaland elf. At first the job is simply humiliating, but as he contends with cranky parents, badly behaved children and colorful career elves, Crumpet becomes battle-weary and bitter. But will the arrival of a warm and loving Santa - so different from all his drunken, lecherous predecessors - prompt our hero into an uncharacteristic act of goodwill on Christmas Eve?
For those who like a little spice with their Christmas sugar, THE SANTALAND
DIARIES is the perfect antidote to holiday schmaltz.
