Northern Irish comedy 'Home Malone' coming to the Grand Opera House

A new comedy play giving a Christmas classic a Northern Irish make over is coming to Belfast next month.

Home Malone, written by comedy duo Sean Hegarty and Diona Doherty, is a "laugh out loud" adult comedy performing at the Grand Opera House from December 7-31.

Due to exceptional demand, new dates have been added so more people can enjoy the hilariousness this festive season.

The description reads: "Gavin returns home from University for Christmas to house-sit for his posh parents on the Malone Road, while they’re off holidaying in the Maldives (of course they are!)

"Home alone and lonely over the festive season, Gavin invites two cold callers in from the doorstep for a natter but it soon becomes clear that these pretend preachers have only one thing on their minds- robbing the hell out of Gavin’s fancy gaff.

"In a bid to protect his house whilst also trying to make it as a stand-up comedian, Gavin must catch these baddies the only way he knows how to…. with the help of someone else!

"Will the baddies get away with Gavin’s mum’s colonic irrigation pump? Is East 17’s Stay Another Day really a Christmas song? Find out in Home Malone".

The cast includes Caroline Curran, Patrick Buchanan and Patrick Mc Brearty and is directed by Tony Devlin.

It has been written and produced by Sean and Diona's new company Cheesy Grin Productions which focuses on comedy output.

Speaking to Belfast Live, Diona said: "We are so excited that we get to produce our own content and what better place for our first show to be staged than in the Grand Opera House."
