Copper Face Jacks: The Musical

Picture
Paul Howard’s comedy masterpiece, Copper Face Jacks: The Musical, opened in Dublin’s Olympia Theatre in July, 2018 and was such a success that it was brought back for an extended run in 2019. A celebration of a club that started out life as something of a Culchie Embassy in Dublin, this love story begins on the eve of a Dublin - Kerry All Ireland Final, when a sweet Kerry girl, who’s moved to the big smoke for her dream job in The VHI, ends up falling head over her flat-shoes with a true blue Dublin team member.

Written by Ross O’Carroll Kelly creator Paul Howard, Copper Face Jacks: The Musical is produced by Kite Entertainment and Verdant Productions in association with the Olympia Theatre. Original Concept by Darren Smith with Paul Howard.
 
Due to phenomenal demand, Copper Face Jacks: The Musical is back in the Olympia for a third run in June 2020, and you can get your tickets here.

ANGLO: The Musical

Picture
Paul Howard’s epic tale of love, money and simple island folk, ANGLO: The Musical was the puppet based story about a bank that went bang. Lots of people didn't want the show to happen, we got letters from The DPP and far too many bankers lawyers but on it went for two highly successful runs where twenty thousand people came to see it, many of whom even laughed….a lot.

We fought the law, and the law ended up buying tickets to come and see if they could shut us down…they couldn't.

Co-produced with our mates in Caboom!

I'm Mike Murphy From RTÉ... I & II

Picture
Long before Naked Camera and Anonymous Mike Murphy was the original king of Irish hidden camera so we decided it'd be be a good idea to put the best of them out on DVD. Thankfully the great Irish public agreed and we sold bucket loads of them back in the day when you could sell DVD's by the bucket load.
