Don't miss Brendan's return to Tuam

ONE of the greatest family comedians, Brendan Grace, is celebrating 40 years in the comedy business and will bring many of his favourites to his show in The Mall theatre in Tuam on Saturday, October 8. [private] Brendan's latest show features some brand new material and some old favourites from his vast repertoire over the last 40 years. His sense of timing and ability to read an audience is without equal. A brilliant character actor, his â€ËœBottler' character is legendary and is now featured at every performance. Apart from his obvious â€Ëœstar quality' in all aspects of his performance Brendan's drawing power is enormous and the â€ËœHouse Full' sign is the norm rather than the exception at his concerts. Ireland his first love Nowadays Brendan spends a considerable amount of time in Florida where he resides with his family. Despite this he still plays the Irish theatre circuit and major hotel venues and still considers Ireland his first love. The genial Dubliner has a very special bond with Irish audiences and is much loved by young and old not least because he gives very generously of his time after each concert. The â€ËœMeet and Greet' is now very much part and parcel of each show, and Brendan's very down to earth approach is much appreciated by everyone. In more recent times Brendan has managed to attract a younger audience mainly because the content of his show is very family orientated and also because of his hilarious appearance in Father Ted when he played the part of a drinking, smoking, troublemaker extraordinaire Father Fintan Stack. Tickets for the Tuam show priced €25 and are available from Quinn's Shop, Bishop Street, Tuam and Joyce's Supermarket, Tuam Shopping Centre. [/private]
