Every one of us has a story to tell; Brian Fleming's unwitting, adventures bring him from Dublin's Fatima Mansions to Senegal, to the refugee crisis in Rwanda to New York's Irish LGBT community, bringing him face to face some of the biggest issues of our times. The results are often hilarious and moving. Projection, costume, spoken word, bad dance, bad striptease, live and recorded music combine to bring true stories to life.
A Cabbie and a Bongo Player Walk Into a Bar
Written & Performed by Brian Fleming and John MacDonagh
Monday, March 7 @ 7pm
A unique evening of theatrical story telling, Irish style and New York style, from Brian 'Bongos' Fleming and John 'The Cabtivist' McDonagh in support of the St Pat's For All Parade. John McDonagh, the 'cabtivist,' a New York cab driver, broadcaster and activist tells stories from the Lower East Side from back when there were more shooting galleries than art galleries, how he introduced Stephen Fry to the mob and how he got barred from Fox TV for terrorism. Brian Fleming, originally from Dublin, now living in the West of Ireland is the creator of three shows; 'A Sacrilegious Lesbian and Homosexual Parade,' 'Gis a Shot of Your Bongos Mister' and Have Yis No Homes To Go To.' He is a professional traditional percussionist, playing with the likes of the Chieftains and Davy Spillane, but his offstage adventures take him from Dublin's inner city projects to a prison cell in Senegal, refugee camps in Rwanda and New York's glorious inclusive St Pat's For All Parade. This is a one off collaboration between the two performers; Dublin wit verses New York streets smarts
