“At Last, The 1989 Show!” @ Ranelagh Arts Festival 2008

admin — Mon, 25 Aug 2008 08:12:54 +0000

Musicians and Comedians Dermot Carmody & Morgan C Jones host a special edition of “At Last, the 1989 Show!” for Ranelagh Arts Festival. In their regular monthly shows for the last year Carmody & Jones have honed their wicked musical comedy act into impressive pointiness in their regular home at The Odessa Club. Now they bring their original songs, splendid asides and off-the-cuff improvisation to Ranelagh for one night only. From Bertie to Biffo, twixt Formby and FaceBook, to Beavers by way of Pope Benedict, the duo takes the audience on a musical journey of wit, pith and occasional stupidity. It would be churlish to deny yourself this experience.

Dermot Carmody, a graduate of the exacting University of Belgrave Road, started comedy life in 1988 when he co-founded The Comedy Cellar comedy club in Dublin’s International Bar along with Barry Murphy, Kevin Gildea, Ardal O’Hanlon and other villains. In 1989 he came up with “The 1989 Show!” but due to problems with availability and focus the show was temporarily shelved. Carmody went on to gig in every comedy club and festival in Ireland and the UK, do telly, do radio, invent 2irish.com (the web site and the radio show) along with “1989″ co-conspirator Morgan C. Jones, write the comedy column in Hotpress magazine for a year, improvise like the blazes with The Dublin Comedy Improv.

Ranelagh native Morgan C. Jones started his career as a stand up comedian, took a left turn as a television actor, arrived at theatre,got lost on the way out; went back to stand up to see if anyone had found his jacket - was told to look where he last remembered wearing it; went back to television to discover that he had left his jacket there, but that in his absence it had been developed as a twenty six episode agricultural soap opera and was regularly appearing on daytime TV as an agony garment. In addition to stand-up, telly, stage & radio (notably with Roger Gregg’s fantabulous “Crazy Dog Audio” productions), Morgan is one half of the “2irish News” team. He is married, has six children, and dreams of one day getting the Dalai Lama really really really drunk.

Less well known is that Conor is an accomplished comedy performer whose stand up style is charmingly downbeat and decidedly top class.
