Brendan Grace brings his comedy characters to Ashbourne

The greatest family comedian of a generation, Brendan Grace, is celebrating four decades in the comedy business, most of this time at the very top of his profession. His latest show, which stages in Ashbourne on Friday night, 9th October, features some brand new material and some old favourites from his vast repertoire over the last 39 years. His sense of timing and ability to read an audience is without equal. A brilliant character actor, his 'Bottler' is legendary and is now features at every performance. Nowadays Brendan Grace 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 in fact 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 'meet and greet' is now very much part and parcel of each show and Brendan's very down to earth approach is much appreciated by all. In more recent times Brendan has managed to attract a younger audience mainly because the content of his show is very 'family' and also because of his hilarious appearance in Father Ted when he played the part of a drinking, smoking, troublemaker extraordinaire Father Fintan Stack. Grace appears in the Ashbourne House Hotel on Friday 9th October, with tickets €25 at the hotel. Contact (01) 835 8400 or available at the door on the night.
