Jason Byrne and Oisín McGann

Venue: Kells Theatre - Eirgrid Stage
Join comedian Jason Byrne for a deadly introduction to his first children’s book, The Accidental Adventures of Onion O’Brien: The Great Ape Escape. He’ll be joined by illustrator Oisín McGann. Discover Jason’s central characters the Five Os: Onion O’Brien (based on Jason as a boy!), Sive O’Connor, Dallan Okoye, Cliona O’Hare and Onion’s big brother Derek. Inspired by Jason’s own suburban boyhood, in their first adventure the Five Os wind up trying to hide an escaped baby ape from an evil circus ringmaster. Be prepared for fun and antics: as anyone who’s a fan of Jason’s appearances as a judge on TV3’s Ireland’s Got Talent will know – things could get wild!
