De Bogman Storytelling & Comedy @UICC

De Bogman is an hour-long tour-de-force of storytelling and physical comedy. It charts the story of Declan who, from his humble origins as a village idiot in Ireland, goes to America to become World Heavyweight Boxing Champion. The story is at once a homage to the Hollywood boxing movie, and also to the epic tales of the Irish in America. Performer Máirtín de Cógáin narrates the story at a furious pace, while also performing over twenty characters. Full of spectacular plot twists, De Bogman has had audiences howling with laughter (not to mention roaring on the loveable Declan) for nearly twenty years.

“Lyrical, loquacious . . . supremely physical . . . remarkable . . . masterful” (NYtheatre.com)
