Dead Cat Bounce

Dead Cat Bounce is a comedy group made up of Mick Cullinan, Demian Fox, Shane O'Brien and James Walmsley. They started as a sketch act, but now perform as a full band, mixing songs with character comedy, genre spoofs and over the top rock posturing.

They are based in Dublin and performed their first show in the Project Arts Centre in January 2008. Since then they've toured extensively; playing at the Bulmers International Comedy Festival, London's Big Joke Festival, Cork Midsummer's Festival, Galway Arts Festival, and the Kilkenny Cat Laughs. This summer they are returning to the Edinburgh Festival Fringe with our brand new Rock & Roll sketch show Wired, as well as making their first appearance at the Montreal Just for Laughs Festival.

They made our TV debut in January of 2009, with their pilot airing as part of RTÉ's Project Ha Ha. They are still working on a series for RTÉ, as well as developing a few other TV and Radio projects in the UK.
