Barry Murphy appears as our special guest in At Last, the 1989 Show upstairs in MB Slattery’s, Rathmines on Thursday 07/01/2008 in the guise of Pole Durcan, poet.

Barry Murphy is often remembered for the six years he spent as a member of the cult comedy trio, Mr Trellis, with Kevin Gildea and Ardal O Hanlon. He is the co-founder of the Comedy Cellar - Ireland’s longest running comedy venue, and is easily recognised as one of the “ten kings of Irish Comedy over the last 20 years” (Hot Press Magazine).

“Barry Murphy’s German alter ego, Gunter, is as laugh-a-loud funny as it is satirical. He deserves to be bigger than Riverdance and The Corrs put together” - Brian Boyd, Irish Times
“Subtly mischievous, always teasing, this clever comic works the audience like a chin-wagging barman” - The Scotsman
