Santa Ponsa or Bust in the Theatre Royal

Wednesday, 15th June 2011

Santa Ponsa or Bust is the stage show that took the

Dragons fiery breath away. For the first time ever in the Irish version of Dragons Den all five Dragons invested in what is already being talked about as the smash hit comedy of the year. Santa Ponsa or Bust is the first part of the Santa Ponsa trilogy and it has captivated audiences wherever it has played.

Santa Ponsa or Bust charts the

adventures of two hapless cork couple Finbarr and Carmel, John and Noreen. Wide boy Finbarr, while "working" on his ninth FAS scheme, is approached by a dark and mysterious stranger. In return for bringing a sealed package to Santa Ponsa, Finbarr, his wife Carmel and 2 friends are offered a two week holiday in the internationally renowned Hotel Del Mar, Santa Ponsa. But there is no such thing as free paella, what follows is the holiday from hell.

Santa Ponsa or Bust is written and

performed by Pakie O'Callaghan and Frank Twomey stars of RTE's Bull Island and Joe Duffy's Funny Friday in which they play the parts of Michael Noonan, Brian Cowen, Bertie Ahern, Willie O'Dea, Mary O'Rourke etc.
