Dead Cats from Dublin

“If you put us against professional musicians, well, we're not musicians!” Walmsley says. “Comedy and music is always tricky...When you perform a song that lasts around four minutes it can become a very long four minutes if it doesn't work. We normally have a pretty good idea of what will work though.” For this year's show, Walmsley reckons it is all rock'n'roll, and then some. “It will also feature ridiculous trousers,” he says. “We've gone all out.”

Dead Cat Bounce also have a high profile fan: comedian and former Saturday Night Live regular, Will Ferrell. “That relates to our first show back in Dublin. We got told that Will Ferrell, his dad, and brother wanted to come in and see some comedy but the show was a sell-out,” he says. “So I kicked out some friends who had tickets so Will Ferrell and his family could attend. It was strange as the audience spent most of the time looking and watching him rather than us!”
