CHRIS LYNAM COMES TO SLIGO!!
It is a show that dreams are made of, a dream that shows are made of, a fight between the birds and bees to prove that man is not man at all, but a little part of a little,tiny,baby,baby.....
Chris Lynam is renowned for many things, but mainly for bringing his brand of crazed humour to bear on unsuspecting audiences.His comedy is both dangerous and exciting, stretching variety to its limits.
Any one show may include pyrotechnics, acrobatics, outlandish operatic and orchestral overtures, a sousaphone with a mind of it's own and anything else which may spring to Mr Lynam's unnecessarily large and vivid imagination.
What happens when you wake up and find that you will never wake up again, that everything you make up is down, and everything you make down is up?
That piece of toast you had for breakfast is really a piece of beach in the Caribbean,your wife is a fruitcake and your children are raspberries.
In amongst all this confusion it becomes apparent that something very important is missing from the backbone of man's existence...., and in order to restore world peace (of cake) Professor Shputdonk must find the missing........
"Chris Lynam is a brilliantly bizarre antidote to today's truculent society" New York Times.
"mahout of the bizarre buffoon extraordinaire to wit" The Times.
"Surreal unhinged quality which makes for comic greatness" The Guardian.

A huge thanks to all who supported The Countess Cabaret on Saturday and especially the wonderful team we had, Vincent Sweeney who transformed the place into a den of inequity, Gigi Wallis our inhouse set designer who also made the place look so amazing. Uli for supplying the kebabs and cleaning up. Erraz Pizzaz who did a great job with his DEBUT master of ceremonies performance! All our lovely local and east coast performers who made the effort and travelled many a mile to shake their thangs and bang their drums and of course our FABULOUS audience who rocked the place and danced the night away! Thanks to our our very generous sponsors Urban Gorilla Tattoo and Sailor Jerry Rum. The atmosphere was decadent! THANK YOU we had an amazing night! We think we love Sligo and will defo be back!
