LAMBERT PUPPET THEATRE  
featuring Paula Lambert presents 

CINDERELLA & Bosco        

The Lambert Puppet Theatre is now widely recognised as the Premier Puppet Theatre Company in Ireland.  From its earliest beginning the Lambert family has been involved with RTE, working on the hugely popular Wanderly Wagon series featuring the late Eugene Lambert and Judge.

Paula Lambert was the 'Bosco' voice on TV for seventeen years and indeed BOSCO is still a firm favourite with the younger children and will make a nostalgic appearance in the opening part of the Show.

This is a beautifully produced show with large puppets, colourful sets and exquisite lighting and is suitable for an age group up to ten years of age.

Brendan Grace                               

BRENDAN GRACE the Comedic Grand Master celebrates 40 Years of Hilarity.
 

The greatest family comedian of our generation proudly presents 40 years in the Comedy business and most of this time at the very top of his profession.

Brendan's latest show features some brand new material and some 'Old Favourites' from his vast repertoire over the last 40 years. His sense of timing and ability to read an audience is without equal. A brilliant character actor, his 'Bottler' character is legendary and is now featured at every performance.  Apart from his obvious 'star quality' in all aspects of his performance Brendan's drawing power is enormous and the 'House Full' sign is the norm rather than the exception at his concerts.

Nowadays Brendan spends a considerable amount of time in Florida where he resides with his family. Despite this he still plays the Irish Theatre Circuit and major hotel venues and in fact still considers Ireland his first love.

The genial Dubliner has a very special bond with Irish audiences and is much loved by young and old not least because he gives very generously of his time after each Concert. The 'Meet and Greet' is now very much part and parcel of each show and Brendan's very down to earth approach is much appreciated by all.

In more recent times Brendan has managed to attract a younger audience mainly because the content of his show is very 'Family' and also because of his hilarious appearance in Father Ted when he played the part of a drinking. smoking, troublemaker extraordinaire Father Fintan Stack.
As always and especially nowadays it is advisable to secure your Brendan Grace ticket when he appears in your area.
