Urban Golfer - Francie Fairway

Francie Fairway spends all day, everyday, playing golf. However, most of his time is spent looking for his miss hit golf ball. Francie plays urban golf, no course required. Watch him as he attempts to tee off from on top of a bus shelter, or indeed from inside your local supermarket. Beware, any wannabe caddies, Francie needs all the help he can get! Francie has a tendency to break windows, fall over and be chased by dogs and angry shop owners.

Urban Golfer is a light-hearted and deeply funny day in the life of an enthusiastic but useless golfer. A comedy of errors, what can go wrong will go wrong. This is a walkabout act complete with live soundtrack.

An interactive character suitable for all family-friendly events.

The Family Geansaí

Nine siblings in one jumper, the Geansaí family are a tight-knit crew. Bound together by a stitch in time, trad music and a comical rhyme, they walk and weave the highroads and byroads of the Emerald Isle. 

Be sure you don’t miss Paddy, Patsy, Pa, Páidí, Podge, Pádraig, Pádraigín, Pat and Patrica as they celebrate in the world’s largest Aran jumper, a geansaí, with eighteen sleeves, 900,542 stitches and the warmth of their Mammy knitted into its very fabric.
