Saturday 18
Billy Magra & Tom Prendergast The Record Room, Commercial Bar
Comedian, film-maker Billy Magra brings GUSTO to The Record Room this Saturday February 18. His stand-up show will be followed by a DJ set from the inimitable Tom Prendergast. Billy and Tom Prendergast worked together opening a live venue in Galway.
Billy remembers, “I opened up a weekly rock gig at The Glentworth on Sunday nights in 1977. Then helped by current Limerick arts activist and DJ Tom Prendergast (then a UCG student) I opened another live music gig night in Galway.”
As a producer/director Billy created TV/Film projects with U2; The Pogues; Clannad and Michael Jackson, Pink Floyd and David Bowie. He produced and directed the feature length film Citizens of Boomtown – the story of The Boomtown Rats in 2020.
He has since turned back to his first creative outlet, namely stand-up comedy. In 1983 The Sunday World hailed him as ‘Ireland’s best comedian’ and among one of the pioneers of the live stand-up circuit in the country.
