RDS, Merrion Road, Ballsbridge,Dublin 4 Friday 19th February to Tuesday 23rd FebruaryBrendan GraceIt’s a funny old world when seen through the eyes of Brendan Grace. The sanctimonious priest who knows more than he’s telling. Then there’s the schoolboy with the unspeakable personal habits and a fine line in sympathy pleas. Brendan Grace is all of these and more. Each cock- eyed portrait he paints has a ring of truth that brings audiences to the point of apoplexy. Brendan’s material owes more to the best of the traditional stand-up-comics than it does to modern alternative humour and his show is very much a show for all the family. There is a sincerity about his act that endears you to him, and his off-stage persona is very much a ‘man of the people’ as he makes himself available after each show for a photo and a ‘meet and agreet’. Brendan’s first visit to the Mill Theatre will be a sell-out so early booking advisable.
