THE HUSSEY BROTHERS by Gombeens Theatre Troupe

(The Art of Foolery)

This classic comedy double act for the whole family that was seen by over 5000 people during its opening the summer 2006 in Galway and it's been on the road until now, mixes rapid-fire audience interaction, physical slapstick and live music in a high energy tale.

After 10 years of rehearsing in their bedroom, The Hussey Brothers breeze into town giddy with excitement feeling they are finally ready to perform their amazing show to the public.

Musical, explosive, contagious and not quite the way they planned it, Mikilín and Oisin are here to follow in the steps of their ancestors, the famous HUSSEY’S - Ireland’s Premium Family of Entertainers. All the rest… you have to see it!

“Gombeens theatre troupe -whose final routine, involving wigs, a banjo and a nursery rhyme was comic gold”
The Irish Times

“Adds to the feeling that there is a festival in town”
Irish Examiner

“Gombeen’s business is visceral, physical and fast and deftly threads clowning’s thin line between tragedy and comedy. Tight narrative, athleticism, elastic girning, accurate sputtering and well-rehearsed slapstick are combined with expressive street performer’s savvy to create cracking comic theatre”
Galway Independent
