The hilarious Colin Murphy is set for a performance at The Playhouse next Saturday 11th of September. As part of the Big Tickle programme, Belfast born Colin makes a welcome return to the town. Colin has played sell out shows throughout Ireland and at the biggest and best comedy festivals around the world including Edinburgh, Melbourne, Montreal, and of course Derry’s Big Tickle.
The last time I went to see Colin, he was performing in his band The 1234s. An unusual experience, Colin is actually a half decent guitarist. The 1234s play punky, good time rock n’ roll and the band provided a great night out in the Bound For Boston in July.
Back at his day job, Colin has been an almost permanent fixture on Irish television for the last decade. From a long list of credits his highlights have included the five years he was the writer and presenter of, the highly regarded and critically acclaimed, Blizzard of Odd followed by a six year stint on the hugely successful The Panel for RTE.
On the BBC he is back as a regular panellist on topical news show The Blame Game and his own Great Unanswered Questions, which airs on television, BBC Radio Ulster and BBC Radio 4.
If you’re in the Maiden City next weekend I can’t recommend this gig highly enough.
Tickets are priced at £15 and are available from The Playhouse box office.
