Sell-out success for Ferbane comedian's opening night of tour

Ferbane comedian Tadhg J. Devery opened his brand new show 'Pints, Dentures, & Rock n’ Roll in the Country' to a sold-out audience at the Bridge House Hotel in Tullamore recently.

With 37,000 followers on Facebook and 11,100 on Instagram, Devery has built a loyal fanbase for his one-man, but multi-character, spectacle.

Described as his most unhinged and outrageous night out yet, 'Pints, Dentures & Rock and Roll in the Country' cranks the chaos, energy, and sheer unpredictability into overdrive.

The new show comes off the back of his previous tour 'A Day In The Country' which earned what he described as an “unreal” reaction from audiences.

Armed with a stage, a handful of props, and ten unique characters, Tadhg set the scene for chaos from the very first moment.

He began as Brendan the Undertaker, a delightfully morbid character obsessed with recycling items from the deceased for profit. Audience members were immediately drawn into the fun as he pulled up his first victim, draping him in old clothes in a hilarious improvisation.

From there, Tadhg transformed into Noel the Farmer, tormented by his neighbours’ cows leaving unwelcome surprises all over his garden. The laughs escalated as he shoved a shovel of ‘shite’ directly into the audience, sending some patrons leaping from their seats in mock horror.

The chaos continued with Breda, Noel’s long-suffering wife, delivering a no-holds-barred rant about her nosey neighbour Margaret. “Whether you’re putting out the bins, doing the shopping, or sitting in your kitchen—she’ll be watching,” Breda exclaimed, conjuring terrifyingly familiar images of neighbours who know you better than you know yourself. Breda's everyday annoyances were turned into hilariously relatable comedy.

Next, the show introduced Christy, a well-meaning but spectacularly unlucky builder. A unfortunate fall from a loose beam delivered classic slapstick, while his stories of clients hiding behind curtains to avoid paying him tugged at the heartstrings. “You’d never have to chase the dole!” Christy quipped, earning a mixture of laughter and sympathetic groans from the crowd.

The Garda made his rounds among the audience next, calling out poor grocery shopping etiquette and pub-round purchasing manners. After a pint or two, the Garda became hypnotised by the music, eventually stripping down to a sparkling vest and colourful underpants, leaving the audience howling.

Throughout the evening, Devery’s energy never faltered. Seamlessly switching between characters and voices, and audience engagement, he brought a taste of life in the country to the stage, with each persona a lovingly exaggerated reflection of familiar stereotypes.

As he prepares to bring the show to life over the course of 14 dates in towns and villages around the country, 'Pints, Dentures, & Rock n’ Roll in the Country' comes recommended for those seeking genuine belly-laughs and a night full of surprises.
