We won the Time Out Jury Prize for our show at the Sydney Comedy Festival. This is what they said about us…

“Everyone we spoke to had one act that either they’d seen, seen several times or had heard how badly they’d missed out by not seeing: Ireland’s musical comedy combo Dead Cat Bounce.”

We’re in good company too, with Pajama Men winning the Best International and Glen Wool awarded Best of the Fest. The full list of winners can be seen here. Thanks to everyone who came to the show in Australia and everyone who helped us out along the way.

Cheers,

DCB.

“Dublin based comedy sketch troupe Dead Cat Bounce have been kept extremely busy since their recent formation in 2008. Following on from the success of RTE sketch series ‘Project Ha Ha’ the highly sought-after group received an invitation to perform in Montreal as part of the ‘New Faces’ Irish showcase. Ahead of their first appearance at the Electric Picnic, one quarter of the group Shane O’Brien describes their comedic journey through a variety of musical genres…”

“A musical sketch group who can truly play their instruments in all manner of styles, from barbershop to full-on, poodle-haired 1980s rawk, this youthful Irish quartet are also fine comic actors who strive to marry Flight of the Conchords with The League of Gentlemen. JR”

“… Neither Dead Cat Bounce, an act with so many talents they have to parcel them out in separate sketch shows and music revues, nor David O’Doherty, still this country’s best unassuming comedian, could be said to be living on the edge. But DCB are an exercise in studied brilliance, nailing every music genre from hair metal to power ballad to R&B while deftly breathing new life – and more impressively, new jokes – into what ought to be a spent format…”
