MCD Promotions are proud to present award-winning mimic Oliver Callan from RTÉ’s Green Tea comedy series live on stage at the Olympia Theatre on Thursday 12th & Friday 13th January 2012.

Tickets from €19 including booking fee on sale now from tickemaster.ie and usual outlets nationwide.

It’s the radio and TV hit comedian’s first Olympia show since his sell-out debut at the Bulmers Comedy Festival in 2008.

Callan’s Green Tea launched on RTÉ Radio One during the General Election in 2011 and is currently in its winter season. The series has been recommissioned for a new season on RTÉ from early 2012.

It features hundreds of characters from Taoiseach Dame Enda to GAA fashionista Paul Galvin, all of whom will be included in the hugely topical and biting live show on January 12th.

“We’ve a great team of writers who are ready to transfer the mayhem and energy of the show from the radio to the stage, with an evening of sketches and as many characters as we can physically fit in. We promise a high-octane night in The Olympia,” said Callan.

Callan’s routines are never far away from controversy, having raised the ire of politicians, sports stars and media celebrities in recent years.

The Monaghan-born comic is also known for his sharply topical routines and outspoken interviews on Brendan O’Connor’s The Saturday Night Show on RTÉ One television.

Mimic Oliver Callan is the main voice behind Green Tea, the new comedy satire series taking the country by storm on RTE Radio One every Saturday. The Monaghan comedian was also the star of Nob Nation, the award-winning sketch series that came to prominence on The Gerry Ryan Show and Tubridy on RTE 2FM for five years. RTE’s Green Tea features hundreds of characters from Taoiseach Enda to President Michael Twee Higgins and his “Vice-President” David Norris. Other targets include GAA fashionista Paul Galvin, Ireland football star Robbie Keane and RTE stars from Pat Kenny to Marian Finucane. Callan is a former journalist who has produced four hit albums and sold out The Olympia for his previous show at the Bulmers Comedy Festival in 2008.
