Couple of Blaguards, A You Don't Have to Be IrishCouple of Blaguards, A
A Couple of Blaguards, a two-man show by literary greats Frank and Malachy McCourt, is a bubbling stew of their well-known humor with a dash of poignancy to sharpen the flavor. A comedic springboard for Angela's Ashes, Tis, and Malachy's A Monk Swimmin', this brilliantly structured comedy is a proven crowd-pleaser offering solid entertainment. Similar to Frank McCourt's best-selling novels, the story follows the trials of the young McCourts in poverty-stricken Limerick, Ireland, to their journey to the U.S. and Brooklyn, New York, where the young men learn to incorporate the day-to-day lessons of their hard Irish past. A story of immigration, triumph over hardship, and the love between family, A Couple of Blaguards is a theatrical event that will find a place in the heart of every audience member.

Top of PageYou Don't Have to Be Irish
Synopsis:
Outrageous, offensive, and scurrilous is how an opinionated Hibernian New Yorker with the improbable name of Malachy McCourt might describe You Don't Have to Be Irish. It would be an extraordinary evening if McCourt's riffs on life, death, war, politics, sobriety, spirituality, religious jerks and pseudo-patriots did not greviously offend someone.
