Please note this show has unfortunately been cancelled due to unforeseen circumstances
It’s 2006 and Danyl Sweetnam is finding the going tough. His marriage is falling apart, his job at Irish Sugar is in jeopardy and then there’s a family bereavement. Rather than letting it all defeat him though, Danyl decides to laugh his way through it.
Contrary to the stereotypical Irish male who finds it difficult to talk about his problems, Danyl will tell it all to anyone, anywhere, anytime. His fear, his grief, his family and even his sex life! He has a deep love and respect for his work colleagues. They have taught him the value of laughing at the serious stuff.
“I don’t trust any fella who can’t have d’aul craic.”
He will tell us with pride how they fought against the company to win a fair redundancy settlement in the Labour Court. Indeed, this fight mirrors his own personal fight with tragedy and loss. “If you can keep smiling at all, you have hope.”
Join Danyl for a journey of hilarious shenanigans and serious craic.
