The Colonial Theatre Presents The Irish Comedy Tour, 3/18

By:

The Irish Comedy Tour makes a St. Patrick's Day stop at the Colonial Friday, March 18 at 8pm. The trio of comedians brings the party atmosphere of a Dublin pub and combines it with a boisterous evening of laughs with Detroit's Derek Richards, Boston-born Mike McCarthy and Dublin's own Keith Aherne.

Tickets are $25 for all seats and may be purchased in person at the Colonial Ticket Office at 111 South Street or by calling (413) 997-4444 or online at www.TheColonialTheatre.org. The Ticket Office is open Monday-Friday 10pm-5pm, Saturdays 10pm-2pm or on any performance day from 10am until intermission.

Derek's act is fast, fresh and, at times, fanatical-often described as a politically incorrect discussion amongst friends at a bar. Derek tells humorous tales about his Detroit, blue-collar upbringing; his mom's dog; the holidays; living in Florida and dating an exotic dancer. Derek is on the air via the XM Satellite Radio Network and on both the nationally syndicated shows Bob and Tom and Bob and Sheri. He has also appeared on The Weather Channel's Top 10 series.

Mike honed his craft in the Boston comedy scene, starting his career 20 years ago and climbing the ranks with fellow Bostonians Joe Rogan, Steve Sweeney, Kenny Rogerson, Lenny Clarke and many more. He has been on Showtime's Comedy Club Network and Comedy Central. This Medford, MA native brings his twisted, high-energy take on family, relationships, kids and growing up the youngest of nine in an Irish-American household.

Keith was born and raised in Dublin, Ireland and has played with many of the Emerald Isle's favorite acts including Brendan Grace and The Dublin City Ramblers. He has toured the U.S. and Ireland with his band The Lahinch Mob. Now he brings his authentic Irish music to the comedy stage.
