    Brendan Grace BottlerGot a nice short duration competition for you. Brendan Grace is celebrating ’40 years of Comedy’, yes forty years in the biz and to celebrate he’s going to be doing his funnyman thing and bringing bagfuls of gags to the Gaiety from March 6 until 11th.

    Tickets start at € 30 but the nice people in The Gaiety have given me a pair of tickets for opening night, March 6th. To be in with a chance of seeing Brendan tell his stories about Joxer, Bottler and Co, all you have to do is leave a cooment below and make sure you like my Facebook page.

    Competition closes Sunday at 3pm, winner will be notified on Sunday night.{Congrats to Rachel D, who has won the tickets to see Brendan Grace, have a great night!} (more…)
