Fresh from the success of two hit RTE series in 2008, 'Wonder Women' and 'Working Girls' and ten sensational sell-out shows at Vicar Street, Katherine Lynch brings her crazy crew of highly unusual, but nigglingly identifiable, modern Irish women to the Black Box on Saturday 28 November.

Populated by a host of Katherine's larger than life creations, the live show, sometimes naughty and often spontaneous, intertwines the fantastical lives of everyone's favourite characters from both hit series.

Live and very loud on the night will be Leitrim's very own gormless gaffer Liz Hurley, with anecdotes of everything from sheep dipping to sheep tipping, singing with Mohill's premier AC/DC tribute band 50/50 and coaching her beloved football team, The Mohill Lassies.

Also joining the line-up will be travelling 'Country 'n Irish' Lino Legend Singing Bernie Walsh, with songs about love, life and carpet remnants. Following the success of Bernie's first album, 'Friends In Hiaces', and her triumphant performance on The Late Late Show, Bernie's spent the last 12 months on an ego driven orgy of rampant self promotion, travelling the length and breadth of the country, appearing at every culchie happening, hickey fair, seafood festival, shindig, knees-up or hoedown you've never heard off.

Also making an appearance will be international man sponge, xenophiliac happy slapper and serial divorcee Sheila Chic, as she exclusively reveals how her insatiable hankering for exotic man-meat has seen her go through more men than Boy George's radiator. And as if that wasn't enough, Liz, Bernie and Sheila will be joined on the bill by the finest selection of Katherine's other alter egos, some familiar, some new, all quite mad!

Leitrim born Katherine kicked off her comedy career in 1998 when she was crowned Alternative Miss Ireland for her portrayal of spoof Country and Western 'Tampon Info-merical Queen, Miss Tampy Lylette'. After getting a taste for the limelight, Katherine, a grand niece of Patrick Kavanagh, and her co-creator, Warren Meyler, developed numerous characters and honed their skills in various residencies for over a decade. Katherine finally made the leap to TV in January 2008 when she has spotted in a small cameo role in RTE's late night comedy 'The Unbelievable Truth'.

Tickets are €28 and are available from Town Hall box office (091-569777), www.tht.ie or through Ticketmaster.
