Street Show Catalogue
Bui Bolg has a series of roaming shows involving their signature giant puppets which tell a variety of sagas.
The Chancy Brothers
Meet Breda, the world-wandering land lady, as she unpacks a wild session of music and ‘craic’. Join Mick the bungling barman, and The Chancy’s – a pair of musical rogues with dubious talents – as they transport you to a world of a fun-filled, family-friendly entertainment.
The Chancy Brothers blends music, pupperty and slapstick comedy, in a poignant tale of the Irish diaspora with more than a whiff of nostalgia for the ‘Auld Sod’ of home.
This show has been developed with Asylum Production and directed by Medb Lambert.

The Street-Sweepers
A Street Sweeper and his pal while away the hours dreaming up hair brained schemes to get rich quick. Two animated puppets; one brought to life by a heedful of gizmos and electronics, the other by a puppeteer secreted away inside a wheelie bin. The players saunter along making frequent stops to chat with passers by and try out their culinary creations in a series of set pieces lasting from 10 – 15 minutes.
