Conal Gallen, and his son Rory, have done it again with another rip roaring, outrageously funny comedy play.

"AFTER HOURS" is the hilarious story of how the infamous Bridie Murphy (played by Conal Gallen), and her hapless husband Willie, have inherited their very own pub. Not only do they not have a clue what they are doing, but they enlist the help of their best friend and next door neighbour, Betty Head.

Along with her dim-witted son, Dick, they set out to bring the newly refurbished Swinging Diddy Pub into the 21st Century. What can go wrong?

This show is guaranteed to have audiences in stitches from start to finish! Early booking is strongly advised and spare underwear is highly recommended!
