Talk about hyperbole of the year. Strumpet City Paths to Freedom and Father Ted although not done by RTE was an Irish made show. Thats just for starters. |

Never heard of 'Strumpet City', but if you're classing it in the same terms as those two genius shows then I'm interested!
This is on tonight I take it? Might throw it on serieslink. McSavage can be a bit hit and miss alright, but well worth a watch.

Very funny show, really on the censorship edge though. That bit about snatching the kid on the Luas was fookin weird, surprised they were allowed to show it, aswell as the 6yrs smashed on heroin!!...mental

Never forget the night I saw him in the International and a joke of his that contained suicide was commented upon but an audience member in the front row. McSavage challenged the guy in the front row and the guy revealed that his brother had committed suicide. Mc Savage did not bat an eyelid and challenged him further and it was a very interesting and uncomfortable for many in the audience that night. Still have not made up my mind on who was at fault there. |

Strumpet City was absolute class, I rememeber watching it as a kid and loving it, was looking for the DVD for ages and finally found it a couple of years ago. It's still class, even my bird who is Engilsh and doesn't really understand the backround (Larkin, Connolly, the Lockout etc) loved it.
It's well worth picking up the DVD as for some reason RTE have not repeated it since the 1980s.
The book is worth a read too. |

Date Posted: 17 Jan 2011 at 7:14am
| The reason they have not repeated it is because at the time the actors and producers etc drew up a contract that they got paid a decent amount of money any time it is shown again. As a result it would not pay RTE to air it again. |

Date Posted: 17 Jan 2011 at 7:31am
| I thought it might be something to do with repeat payments. Maybe when Peter O'Toole, Bryan Murray and David Kelly die they'll show it again. |

Strumpet City's on DVD, got it for me parents for Chrimbo, heard it was superb alright.
McSavage is sh*te lately with his stand up, but he's always very hit and miss, but The Savage Eye is very good. ------------- We'll never die, we'll never die, we'll keep the Green Flag flying high......Shamrock Rovers will never die, we'll keep the Green Flag Flying high. 19 Leagues and 25 Cups..... |

 +1Brilliant stuff. The old style footage of the football match against the Brits was pure class, like Harry Enfield at his best (although I didn't like much of Enfields other stuff)
Also the bit where the parents were "supporting" their kids playing football was brilliant.
Not that it has much opposition but has to be the best comedy sketch show RTE have produced, and it has a different slant with the semi serious interviews giving it all context. Top show.

Probably will be released on DVD, certainly would be a better comedy DVD than other RTE "comedy" options such as Killinaskully and Katherine fookin Lynch nonsense.

The bloke going in for confession, getting locked in the box with shutting bars and the priest running out and stealing the young fella off the pew is one of the funniest things I've ever seen ! He nearly pulled the kids head off, hilarious stuff (I hope they got it done in one take thou)...Anyone got a link??? ------------- Don't believe everything you read in the news papers |

Saw mcsavage in vicar st a few weeks ago and he kind of faded off at the end. Wasnt too impressed. But your man who plays Mary Robinsons husband in the birdcage was on before him and was the funniest comedian i have seen in along time. John Colleary is his name, you got to check him out if he plays in Dublin on his tod. ------------- Chips don't bounce |

Follow McSavage on social media. He seems to be in London at the moment. Not sure if it's work related or he's moved over there full-time. Always thought he was Dublin based. Say the last year and a bit has been very tough for anyone with the arts industry. Every second comedian these days seems to have set up a podcast.
