He is distinguishably good.. His delivery is immaculate and ultra-fast. More infectiously, he has a knack of making each member of the audience feel like a friend, delivering pin-sharp observations in the form of shared confidences" The Guardian
TopDead Cat Bounce
Dead Cat Bounce bring the critically acclaimed sketch show "Radio Play that "blew away" the Edinburgh Festival and sold out 6 nights at the Bulmers Comedy Festival in Dublin.
DEAD CAT BOUNCE follow in the great tradition of The Goons and Monty Python.
Mixing character comedy, weird sound effects and hilarious songs this show revisits the golden age of 1950s radio comedy. The group deliver an unrelenting show of sketches complete with a live foley artist, and music played as a full four-piece band. Discover the secrets of sound, the magic of radio, and the lost art of suggesting an advancing army using only a bucket, some spanners, and a pair of rubber gloves.
Their sketches are in good company with their songs, which easily manage to surpass the genius of Tenacious D and Weird Al Jankovich combined. Laughter is good for the soul, so do yours a favour and go see this comedy hour of power.
Dead Cat Bounce is a sketch show with a brain and a black sense of humour.
In place of cartoon and slapdash caricature, the Irish trio (Demian Fox, Shane O'Brien and James Walmsley) conjure up imaginative situations with believable characters. Each a fine actor, they gently mock the nuances of relationships and milk the humour in their dynamics.
