I was due to see King Kong Company perform in Naas recently, but unfortunately, that festival got cancelled. So, when I was asked if I'd like to go see them in Dolans , Limerick, I obviously said yes! I hopped in the car after work last Friday and hit the road. A few stops alongt he way, and I was there by 19:30, in plenty of time to make the show. I've seen King Kong Company plenty of times now to know what to expect. I was curious to see how Bobby Fingers would perform though, what with him have a dodgy leg. I needn't have worried though. He bounced around the stage on one leg, waving a cane in the air like a mad man! Support on the night was from local hip-hop artist, Citrus Fresh , a new name to me, but I really enjoyed his set. Anyway, on to the photos:
"Mildly unhinged woman with a princess mentality is thwarted by her own mind while trying to perform stand-up. An effervescent performance or acute psychotic episode?"
After reading that, how could I not go along and support my friend Sophia as she put on her one woman show Princess Melancholy in Smock Alley, Dublin!
It was a great show, very funny, but very real at times... Maybe that was just for me, who knows!
Anyway, if you get the chance to see the show, I'd really recommend it.
Now, for a few photos:
