You're in for some mighty "craic" with The Irish Comedy Tour at Rochester Opera House on Saturday, March 5 at 8 p.m.

The Irish Comedy Tour takes the party atmosphere of a Dublin pub and combines it with a boisterous, belly-laugh band of hooligans. They're Irish, they're American, and they're not holding anything back!

The clover - make that clever - comedians, whose ancestors hail from the Emerald Isle, include Detroit native Derek Richards; Boston-born Mike McCarthy; Nova Scotia's Damon Leibert; and from Inchicore, a suburb of Dublin, Ireland, Derrick Keane.

Audiences howl at Richards' tales about his mom's dog, the holidays and dating a stripper. He has appeared on The Bob & Tom Show, XM and Sirius, and The Weather Channel's Top 10.

McCarthy's no-holds-barred humor has landed him on Comedy Central and Showtime. The "comedy barbarian," as he calls himself, takes no prisoners when it comes to poking fun at society's most sensitive topics.

Leibert's unique and energetic style of fiddle playing lies somewhere between the driving dance beat of Cape Breton and the lyrical music of Ireland. His power packed performance adds an incredible dimension to the show.

And finally Keane, originally from Inchicore, first distinguished himself musically when the duo in which he sang and played swept the All Ireland Talent Competition. His band, Inchicore, sets the gold standard for the Irish music scene in New England and across North America.

Don't miss these hilarious Irish American comedians as they tear apart as well as validate all of the Irish myths and stereotypes. Mature subject matter.
