What is it? A live comedy show featuring Pat and Faye Shortt
Father and daughter comedy duo, Pat and Faye Shortt, return with their new sellout show, Knuckle Down, after their previous tour of Well won over audiences in Ireland and Northern Ireland.
Knuckle Down shows off the incredible talent of these two performers, as they glide seamlessly from stand up to hilarious characterisation of everyday Irish people. They have the genius of taking ordinary situations and making us laugh at the mundane.
Previously described as being indigenously Irish in their approach and observation of characters, Knuckle Down doesn’t disappoint. Characters such as “Michael” (Pat Shortt) the hapless builder (which has drawn a cult following on social media) seems to have the answer to all things that are wrong in the world and shares the advice gifted to him by his late grandmother from Tipperary. Another outrageous character is the “mother of the child” (Faye Shortt) at the school gates picking up her child PJ. It’s not like her at all to talk bad about anyone but she just can’t help herself, sharing her views on the school principal and her tummy tucking friend back from Turkey.
The sharp wit and physical comedy genius of this duo will have you in pain with laughter.
