The show has come to the end of a remarkable run at ABSOLUT Fringe. When we embarked upon this project we had aspirations and hopes for it, but we couldn’t have anticipated the amazing end result. We are immensely proud of what we have achieved.
Not only did we receive a nomination for the “Little Gem” Fringe Festival award (a staggering achievement in its own right), but we also got a stunning four star review in The Irish Times from Sara Keating. We consider both of these to be a massive honour and are thrilled to be recognised so positively for our work. Not bad for a bunch of ABSOLUT Fringe first timers!
As well as that, every single night of the show was sold out. That blows us away. In a time when people have less money to spend, this show of support meant a huge amount to us all. It was extremely inspiring to see faces old and new every single night at the show. Thanks to you all for being there and sharing in the experience.
In response to the work itself, we received effusive praise, poetic responses and standing ovations. It was profoundly humbling to see that our very personal stories resonated so deeply with so many of you. It took a lot to get up there each night but the response gave us so much back.
The three men up on stage was only part of the story though. We are hugely indebted to our brilliant director, Sarah Brennan, who took a leap of faith in working with us three poets and gave shape to such a powerful piece of drama on the stage. It was a real honour to work with her.
Thanks are also due to our wonderful partners and families who formed part of the stories onstage, as well as supporting us through the many months of writing and rehearsing the show. Without them we would have been adrift. Our love to all of them.
So, what now? Well, we will take some well earned rest and spend some quality time with our loved ones. We will then assess what our options are and perhaps take the show back out there to the public again. Stay tuned to this blog and our respective places and spaces on the web for more information. Three men will talk again…

We are incredibly happy and honoured to have been nominated for the “Bewley’s Café Theatre ‘Little Gem’ Award”. The ceremony takes place tonight (Sunday Sept 25th) and we look forward to meeting our fellow ABSOLUT Fringe nominees and looking back at an incredible festival. The experience of writing and performing this show has been really incredible for us all and we are touched that it has resonated so deeply with all of you. Thanks to everyone who came to see the show and keep your fingers crossed for us!
Our thanks to Sara Keating for her very positive four star review of our show in today’s Irish Times. We are extremely proud of the piece and it is encouraging to receive such a positive response.

We are absolutely buzzing after two phenomenal shows. We are extremely happy to know that our stories are connecting with familiar and new people every single night. Our opening two shows have been completely sold out and tonight’s (Wednesday Sept 21st) is almost sold out too. The buzz is building in intensity and tickets are flying out the door quickly, so if you plan on seeing the show we ask that you don’t delay and pick one up online today to avoid disappointment . Thanks to you all for your phenomenal support so far. It has been a true pleasure.
Thanks to the Irish Times for recommending our show in their weekend supplement. They reckon you should take your Da along to see the show. We actually reckon your Ma would like it even better, seeing as it is a bunch of men being all sensitive and talking about their feelings. But we would delighted if all parents came along really.

Delighted to say that tickets are being snapped up quickly for every night of our show. If you are planning on going to the show we STRONGLY recommend you purchase tickets online right now. Once it is sold out we can’t let any more people in or extend the run of the show. This is your chance. Consider yourselves warned!
Many thanks to Irish illustrator, artist and cartoonist Philip Barrett for coming up with these brilliant depictions of the three men themselves. Despite the whimsical title and these comic illustrations, it should be pointed out the the spoken word show is not a comedy. The three poetic monologues will tackle serious subject matter in a deeply lyrical way.
