We’re delighted to announce that we’re now able to put some little laurels on our posters. 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.
