Not only is Colin Murphy a first class TV star, he is one of the finest Irish comedians working today.

When he's not scribbling notes on the set of RTE's The Panel, or reading the news for the next week of BBC's The Blame Game, nordie comedian, Colin Murphy is perfecting his material for his first true love, stand up comedy.

His distinct fusion of edgy 'in your face'topical satire, with acute observational material make him a highly original and much sought after performer. This force to be reckoned with has just kicked off his first-ever national tour of Ireland. Armed with his razor sharp wit, Colin will be visiting the Moat Theatre, Thursday, 30 April.

It was Colin's barnstorming comedy routines which brought him directly into the public eye, including a sell-out at the 1999-2005 Edinburgh Festivals - earning him huge critical and industry acclaim. Internationally, Colin has headlined shows in New York, Boston, Singapore, Hong Kong, Brussels - and two Just for Laughs Comedy Festivals in Montreal.

"...Observational humour at its very best, impeccably delivered by this extremely talented, loveable rogue"
THE LIST

"Multi-talented and hilarious. Refreshingly original and honest - a true find"- THE TIMES

"...the king of powerfully, genuinely charismatic comic talent for whom the most obvious comparison is a younger Billy Connolly .....sharp observational routines and an interaction with the audience that many higher profile comics could only aspire to.."
- THE SCOTSMAN
