From RTE’s hit show and film
Martin Maloney from Hardy Bucks and Stephen Kelly from 3 Bucks Left are teaming up for a show like no other! Get ready for a night of non-stop laughter, entertainment and fun as these two talented performers hit the stage together. The duo first met in school in 1996 after they skipped their afternoon woodwork class and went dossing up the Swinford woods, where they learned that they shared a mutual passion for Jim Morrison and the Doors. When the 4 o’clock bell finally rang it was time to go, but unfortunately they ran into their metal teacher from the previous class as he was driving home. The rest was history.
Martin Maloney is well-known for his hilarious character Eddie Durkan from the popular mockumentary series Hardy Bucks. He’s a natural entertainer and musician who knows how to get the crowd laughing with his quick wit and infectious personality.
Stephen Kelly, a Hardy Buck himself, is a comedian who has been entertaining audiences with his unique blend of humor and music for years. The leader of 3 Bucks Left, a live-performance troupe of HB veterans, his performances are full of energy and passion, and his ability to connect with the audience is second to none.
Together, Martin and Stephen are set to deliver a show that will leave you wanting more. From high-paced comedy action to great music and an incredible atmosphere, this show promises to be a night to remember. So grab your friends and get ready to laugh until your sides hurt, because Martin Maloney and Stephen Kelly are coming to town!

September 10th, doors open at 6pm, showcase begins at 6.30pm
Written by Mike Hanrahan and dedicated to the creative women and men of our great Irish cultural revolution, 1890 to 1922. They were both rebel and innovator, writer and fighter who challenged a nation to reawaken its own spirit. This often turbulent yet extremely innovative period of Irish history is a fascinating study on the rebirth of a culture after centuries in chains.
The Ballad of The Crimson Warrior is a musical narrative of original music and traditional tunes with a backdrop of stunning portraits of the revolutionary years by Irish artist Mick O Dea.
Recorded and filmed by Aldoc at Aras Chronain and supported by Culture Ireland. This event is in partnership with our affiliate Phoenix Ennis Sister City who are celebrating their 50th anniversary in 2022.
