THE “DIRT BIRDS” LAND IN HOWTH GOLF CLUB – 16th feb.

After our big successes with ABBA and Seamus Heaney before Christmas, our Theatre Nights in Howth Golf Club resume on Friday night, February 16th when we welcome the new Irish comedy sensation, the Dirt Birds.

At this time of the year we can all do with a good laugh and we can assure members that this show is guaranteed to give them the best laugh they have had in a long time.   The Dirt Birds are Dundalk native Sinead Culbert and her partner in comedy Sue Collins of the renowned Nualas and this very talented comedy duo have struck gold with the fabulous sketches which make up this show.

The majority of the sketches feature hilarious scenes between the fictional Northside Dublin mums Carmel and Debs, while others feature the glamorous Southsiders, the snobbish Eleanor and Eimear  who compete about everything whilst pretending their lives are sooo amazing.

‘Tips from Da Town’ sees the duo introducing Dundalk beautician Dee who is presenting a video tutorial on how to apply make up with her friend Andrea as model. The very plain Andrea has ambitions to look like Melania Trump and Dee’s attempts to achieve this have had audiences all over Ireland in hysterics.

The Dirt Birds are currently playing to packed houses all over Ireland and we are thrilled to have been able to book this fabulous act for Howth Golf Club, a show which despite it’s name will only amuse and never shock.  It has been described as a great girls’ night out but the males in the audience the night we saw it enjoyed it just as much.

To quote the review of the show in The Sun ‘These brilliantly funny beauty tutorials from Dirtbirds duo will have you in stitches’

For a brilliant night of laughter, not to be missed.  Tickets go on sale Saturday 3rd Feb. Only €15
