BBC Northern Ireland Comedy Dry Your Eyes - Life's a sketch Brand new comedy sketch show from the writers of Give My Head Peace A side-splitting rollercoaster ride of laughs is promised from a brand-new comedy sketch show coming soon to BBC ONE Northern Ireland. Dry Your Eyes is the latest comedy offering from the writers of BBC Northern Ireland's hit sitcom Give My Head Peace. Damon Quinn, Tim McGarry and Michael McDowell have once again joined forces to produce a hilarious new series. Dry Your Eyes features performances from the three writers as well as the talents of Marty Reid (Uncle Andy from Give My Head Peace) and introducing Sharon Morwood, Martin McCann and Emma Little. The comedy team play a whole range of characters: from the drole, motorcycling-mad McDowell Brothers to Arthur Heckler; Cos I'm Irish the leprechaun and the Trendy Priest. Damon Quinn explains: "We are excited about this new project and it's been a great opportunity to try out new comedy ideas and introduce new comedy talent. "We have spent the past few months writing and filming and are pleased with the results. "It's a temporary move away from Give My Head Peace for us and is made up of a series of short sketches featuring new characters. "We are delighted to be able to welcome on board actors Sharon Morwood, Martin McCann and Emma Little, which is a credit to BBC Northern Ireland in its commitment to bringing on local talent and promoting local comedy. "We hope viewers will enjoy the series as much as we have while making it." Notes to Editors Further press information, images and cast interviews will be available closer to transmission. |
