Stand Up, On the Spot! with Terry O'Neill, Lolsy Byrne & Stephen Ryan @The International Bar

In Stitches comedy "Stand Up On The Spot" @International Bar(Upstairs):

"Stand Up On The Spot" is a fun, interactive comedy night where stand-up is mixed with audience suggestions. A twist to your comedy experience! In the first half, you'll enjoy a lineup of fantastic comedians delivering their best material. But the fun doesn't stop there! In the second half, get ready for an interactive adventure as the audience suggest two topics into a bucket. One is titled "current events"(anything from the news, sports, gossip column etc.,). and the other one, "chaos"(any topic, phrases or  sentences an audience memeber want to talk about on stage). Let your imagination go wild! Comedians come up with a brand new routine on the spot based on topics presented to them right on stage with the audience chiming in. It's a unique and unpredictable show that guarantees laughs aplenty, a night where the audience becomes the muse, and the laughter becomes a collaborative effort.

These days Terry is a much in demand actor/Comedian in film (Michael Inside/ The Meeting) TV (Love/ Hate/ Striking out) and stages, comedy clubs and festivals all over Ireland and the UK. But, in his old life he was a boxer.

This is the extremely personal account of a young pug chasing an impossible dream that was always just out of reach, a trip through the dark and murky world of boxing and a study on why someone signs up to get punched in the head for a living! So, step through the ropes for a hilarious, fast-paced and heart-felt few rounds seconds out… DING- DING! Catch this show before it moves on to the Civic theatre and then on to the Edinburgh Fringe Festival for the month of August.
