Just wondering if any chance you could do a shout out  for my comedy group Ghost Train Willy’s show this week? It’s called Rhubarb Crumble – it’s on in The Civic Theatre [Tallaght, D24] tonight and runs until this Saturday 29th November at 8:15pm. Tickets here.

It’s the comedy tale of a second-rate children’s theatre company, whose members all fantasise about the lives they could have led had they not been held back by each other.

Your analogies are invited.

A promotional video for cyberpsychologist and comedian James Moran’s new hour-long show Atom Tick at the Pallas Projects/Studios in The Coombe, Dublin 8, on November 27 and 28.

James writes:

“Atom Tick is a show told in three parts. It follows a presentation given by two entrepreneurs as they try to gain support (both fnancial and emotional) from audience. Throughout the 20-minute talk the duo discuss their plans for creating television shows, future technology and urban rejuvenation. The presentation is then repeated two more times, taking place at various points in the future. Jokes and concepts layer onto each other in interesting ways, each performance brings new ideas and puts interesting twists on previous ones. It’s a show about pop-culture, repetition, the internet and the future.”

Crikey.

Tickets for Atom Tick at €7. Doors open at 6.30pm with the show starting at 7pm sharp.

[The urn containing Kevin Dorothy’s ashes]

Laugh?

He killed.

Kevin Dorothy, 53, who died in December, had wanted to take part in the comedy night at the Belfast’s  Pavilion Bar.

On Monday night, one of his friends, Stephen Mullan, took to the stage at the Ormeau Road venue complete with Kevin’s ashes in an urn. The routine consisted of jokes Kevin had texted to Stephen and other friends.

[friend Tom Sweeney said]  “Nobody had seen anything like it. You hear about comedians dying on stage. Well, Kevin jumped the gun.”
