Irish comedy rock & roll band, Dead Cat Bounce, are back with their new show, another collection of hilarious numbers in a wide range of styles. Mick Cullinan (keyboard), Demian Fox (drums), Shane O’Brien (bass), and James Walmsley (guitars, lead vocals) are not just funny, they are also talented and skilled musicians who could do just as well as a straight band as they do as comics.

They look every bit like rock stars, from the parodies of other bands to the tight trousers, but the lyrics tell a different story. The audience, which seemed to double with people coming in all the way through the show, presumably hearing what was going on from outside the tent, was kept laughing and applauding constantly throughout the performance. The interactions of the band members between songs were hilarious, too.

Try to catch these guys if you can get a ticket. You’ll be glad that you did.
