Real Radio 94.3 and Bare Knuckle Stout present The Irish Comedy Tour
The Irish Comedy Tour takes the party atmosphere of a Dublin pub and combines it with a boisterous, belly-laugh trio that will perform Sept. 13 at the Sunrise Theatre in Fort Pierce. The clover -- make that clever -- comedians, whose ancestors all hail from the Emerald Isle, include Derek Richards, a Detroit native who lives in Palm Beach Gardens; Jim Paquette, a New Yorker who migrated to Lake Worth; and Scott Dunn of Fort Wayne, Ind. "The only thing surprising about Derek is that he's not bigger," a reporter once wrote of Richards. Audiences howl at tales about his mom's dog, the holidays and dating a stripper. He's appeared on The Bob & Tom Show, XM Satellite Radio and The Weather Channel's Top 10. Dunn, meanwhile, serves up his hysterical history quiz every Monday morning on Bob & Tom. In addition to being savvy at stand-up, he's written for Jeff Foxworthy's Big Night Out and Country Music Television's Comedy Stage and Music Awards. His first CD, Absolutely Historical, debuts this year. And finally, guitarist Paquette has recorded two CDs: 358 Hangovers a Year and Beer and Fireworks. He's fine-tuned his comedy skills as a dueling piano performer, and his riotous original songs convince audiences to clap along (even if it means briefly putting down their drinks). Experience a shot-pounding, beer-swilling night of politically incorrect fun suitable for adults only. The Irish Comedy Tour -- they're Irish, they're American, and they're not holding back!
