Belfast audience reaction to Death of A Comedian (above).
Roisin O’Sullivan writes:
Death of a Comedian [starring Brian Doherty, top] written by Owen McCafferty is in it’s final week at the Abbey Theatre, Dublin before travelling on to the Soho Theatre in London.
It’s a theatre piece about a comedian named Steve who has just started to experience success as a stand up, brought to him by his new big time agent. However, he has to make some tough decisions about what he’s prepared to compromise on!We’d like to offer 4 tickets (yes FOUR tickets) to the show to Broadsheet reader/s. There’s quite a lot of bad language (The C-bomb is a particular favourite!) so we just like to warn people in advance. In that spirit, for a chance to win the tix please complete this sentence:

KNOCK KNOCK

Saw this the other week. Have to say wasn’t great, pretty mediocre.
The guy playing the agent was good but felt a bit let down by the quality considering the price of ticket I expected a bit more.
But…..but….but, the Denis O’Brien fib sheet says the show “DAZZLES”

The most tasteless joke I’ve ever told was the one about the Graham Dwyer murder case:
he’s innocent
Ah c’mon, you can’t beat the Judge’s joke this morning. According to RTE
“He [the Judge] told the jury of seven men and five women that they had to consider everything. He said they were free to reject any comment that he [the Judge] made.”
http://www.rte.ie/news/2015/0325/689530-graham-dwyer/
And when he instructed the jury yesterday to come back with a straight forward “murder, or not murder” the court room burst into laughter …so said deh Nooz on RTE last night….
No, wait a minute, I’m wrong. Prize for best joke has to go to the foreman of the jury, who, a day and a half after the Judge’s charging of the jury is reported thusly by RTE
“The jury foreman asked what they had to find Mr Dwyer guilty of.”
Actually we have a winner
“The one thing that you can say with certainty is that two people met that day, one person came home the other didn’t” said the Judge today.
What utter tosh! There’s no “certain” evidence that she did meet anyone on that day. The Judge is saying Elaine was killed, or at least died, in the presence of someone else. That’s not been “certainly” established. This Judge is a complete fuppwit and has just given Stabby the grounds of an appeal if he is in fact convicted.

Mine involves Mother Teresa and a black man’s willy. Writing it here would involve so many asterisks it would make no sense.
You’re such a tease.
I’m not. It’s properly rude. Let’s just say ‘black man’s willy’ is phrased in a less than PC way.
Also, it’s fierce long (fnar) and I’m typing on me phone so can’t be arsed.
