The Rubberbandits go all upmarket - well, not really! - when they bring their new 'musical' Continental Fistfight to the Abbey Theatre's Peacock Stage from March 26-28.
Packed with "dazzling new songs, great big hits and at least one celebrity puppet", the show received rave reviews when it ran last year in The Globe's new Sam Wanamaker Playhouse at the behest of the famous Shakespearian theatre's Artistic Director, Dominic Dromgoole.
"I love their Swiftian satire and brilliant comic timing," enthuses his Abbey counterpart, Fiach MacConghail. Kick-off is 10pm with tickets priced €18/€15 (concession).
Another massive fan is Noel Gallagher who tells us in a soon-to-be-published interview: “I went looking for The Red Elastic Band, who Mick from Shack’s in, on YouTube and found the Rubberbandits instead. No one had ever mentioned these two guys to me before and their guide to Limerick. That song, ‘Danny Dyer Pants On Fire’… funny as fuck! They’re obviously very intelligent. If you ever see them, tell them, ‘Noel Gallagher fucking loves you!’”
